Colorectal xanthomatous polyp
Diagnosis in short

Colorectal xanthomatous polyp. H&E stain.
LM abundant foamy histiocytes in the superficial lamina propria +/- superficial serrations (hyperplastic features)
LM DDx hyperplastic polyp, signet ring cell carcinoma, others
IHC CD68 +ve, pankeratin -ve
Site colon, rectum
Associated Dx +/-hyperlipidemia
Prevalence uncommon
Endoscopy polyp - red or yellow colour
Prognosis benign
Clin. DDx other colorectal polyps

The colorectal xanthomatous polyp, also colorectal xanthoma, is a rare benign intestinal polyp.

Rectal xanthoma, colonic xanthoma, rectal xanthelasma and colonic xanthelasma redirect here.

Colorectal xanthomatous polyp may be abbreviated CXP.

General

  • Rare.[1]
  • May be associated with hyperlipidemia (7/25 patients in one series[2]).

Gross

  • Usually red colour.[2]
    • Classically described as yellow.[1][2]

Microscopic

Features:

  • Abundant foamy histiocytes in the superficial lamina propria.
  • +/-Superficial serrations (hyperplastic features).
    • Seen in ~80% of cases.[2]

DDx:

  • XP - very low mag.

  • XP - low mag.

  • XP - intermed. mag.

  • XP - intermed. mag.

  • XP - high mag.

  • XP - very high mag.

  • XP - very high mag.

Stains

IHC

  • CD68 +ve (foamy histiocytes).[1]
  • Pankeratin -ve.

Sign out

Polyp, Rectum, Polypectomy or Biopsy:
- Xanthomatous polyp with hyperplastic features, see comment.
- NEGATIVE for dysplasia.

COMMENT:
Xanthomatous polyps may be seen in the context of hyperlipidemia.[1]  A lipid 
profile could be considered.
