A xanthoma (or xanthomata or xanthomatosis) (from Greek xanthos, ξανθος, "yellow") is a deposition of yellowish cholesterol-rich material in tendons and other body parts in various disease states:

• Tendon xanthomas (associated with familial hypercholesterolemia, cerebrotendineous xanthomatosis and phytosterolemia]
• Palmar xanthomas
• Eruptive xanthomas
• Tubo-eruptive xanthoma
• Xanthoma tuberosum
