The Achilles tendon is the strongest and largest tendon in the human body, composed of the distal confluence of the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles and may also include the plantaris longus tendons. Despite its tremendous strength, it is frequently injured. Soft tissue tumors or tumor-like conditions of Achilles tendon are much less common in comparison to traumatic and infectious/inflammatory lesions.

Article Synopsis
- Xanthomas are benign, yellow, soft skin lesions made up of fat-laden immune cells, often indicating underlying lipid issues in the body.
- A 13-year-old girl had large, painless nodules on her elbows and knees for five years, and tests revealed a family history of similar lesions with abnormal lipid levels.
- The case emphasizes the need for early diagnosis of xanthomas to prevent serious health problems like heart disease and strokes in young patients.

A recent study described a rare subtype of tuberous sclerosis complex ( TSC )-mutated renal cell carcinoma primarily characterized by Xanthomatous giant cell morphology. Only 2 cases in young individuals have been reported so far, making the correct diagnosis challenging from a pathological perspective. It remains unknown whether this tumor represents an independent subtype or belongs to other TSC -mutated tumors.
