Primary Xanthoma of Mandible – A case report

Xanthomas are common cutaneous and subcutaneous lesions that occur due to altered metabolic or endocrinal function. They are found on skin and around tendon sheaths in individuals with dyslipidaemias. In extremely rare cases, they may present as isolated intrabony lesions in otherwise healthy individuals. The isolated intrabony lesions are referred to as primary xanthomas. We present a case of an incidentally found primary xanthoma, its management, and follow-up in an otherwise healthy patient.
