  • Title: Gastric xanthoma.
    Author: Mast A, Eelwaut A, Mortier G, Quatacker J, Defloor E, Roels H, Barbier F.
    Journal: Am J Gastroenterol; 1976 Apr; 65(4):311-7. PubMed ID: 180798.
    Abstract:
    Gastric xanthoma (GX) consists of a small yellowish lesion of the gastric mucosa, frequently of multiple occurrence; histologically, there is an accumulation of lipid-laden histiocytes in the lamina propria. Seven cases are reported. One patient also had jejunal localizations. There is no correlation with hypercholesterolemia but in four cases a slight hypertriglyceridemia was found. A control gastroscopy, performed in four cases, revealed no changes in the first patient but a decrease in size in a second and the disappearance of GX in two other patients.
