Abstract
Primary xanthoma in foot bones is an extremely rare event. In an individual without a family history of hyperlipemia, it is even a rarer finding. One case of a xanthoma of a calcaneus is presented in an otherwise asymptomatic 19-year-old normal lipidemic female. The previous literature is reviewed. The clinical findings and treatment course are presented.
