Achilles tendon xanthomas?

Hi all

In all the various consultant I have seen so far, none has spotted xanthomas, nor has my GP. However my most recent consulation found a lumpy bit (which I can feel myself) but only on ONE tendon.

So is this just a bump where I've injured my tendon, or a Xanthoma? The consultant didn't seem sure. It's not really visible, unlike the horrific pics you get when you google achilles tendon xanthoma.

nothing really, just asked me if I'd injured it, but he seemed to think I was more likely to have polygenic hypercholesterolemia than familial.

It seems unlikely I'd have a xanthoma on one tendon and nowhere else.
