RATIONALE: Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis is a rare autosomal recessive metabolic disease. Surgical treatment is only indicated when the xanthoma becomes large, painful, and irritable with shoe wear. Reconstruction of the large defect following resection challenging, especially with resection of the entire Achilles tendon.

PATIENT CONCERNS: We report a case of bilateral Achilles tendon defects of 16 cm following resection of bilateral Achilles tendon xanthomata, with reconstruction using vascularized iliotibial tract. The patient had a good functional outcome with well-preserved strength and cosmesis.
