Regression of Achilles tendon xanthomas evaluated by CT scan after Hypolipidemic treatment with simvastatin: A case report
Article Abstract:
The usefulness of computed tomography (CT) for detection and evaluation of xanthomas in the Achilles tendons (XAT) regression in response to hypolipedemic drug treatment in a heterozygous Familial hypecholesterolemia (FH) patients is presented. CT was found useful for XAT detection and long-term follow-up and a reduction in XAT size was found when hypolipidemic therapy achieves a substantial decrease in lipid concentrations.
