Xanthoma tendinosum in a normolipemic ectodermal dysplasia patient

A female patient with congenital ectodermal dysplasia is described, who developed xanthoma tendinosum in her hands simulating rheumatoid arthritis. The serum lipids of this patient were normal. Both ectodermal dysplasia and xanthoma tendinosum in a normolipemic patient are rather uncommon and to our knowledge have not been previously reported in one and the same patient.
