Gastric Xanthomas: A Series of Three Cases
Abstract
Gastric xanthoma is an uncommon non-neoplastic lesion of the stomach characterized by the accumulation of lipid-laden foamy macrophages within the lamina propria. It is usually detected incidentally during endoscopy and maybe associated with chronic gastritis, Helicobacter pylori infection, intestinal metaplasia, or previous mucosal injury. This study highlights three cases of gastric xanthoma in adults diagnosed on histopathological examination, emphasizing on their clinicopathological features and diagnostic significance.
