Abstract:
On the basis of two personal cases and a review of the literature, we have attempted to define endoscopic and histologic features in gastric xanthelasma. The various etiopathogenic hypotheses published in the literature are reviewed and others are suggested. Attention is drawn to the differential diagnosis with mucus-secreting cell carcinoma. Use of stains for mucus in such lesions is recommended to confirm the diagnosis.
