Gastric xanthoma
Diagnosis in short

Gastric xanthoma. H&E stain.

LM gastric lamina propria with lipid-laden macrophages
LM DDx signet ring cell carcinoma, Whipple disease, MAI infection
IHC CD68 +ve, AE1/AE3 -ve
Gross yellowish nodule or plaque - usu. lesser curvature
Site stomach

Prevalence uncommon
Prognosis benign

Gastric xanthoma, abbreviated GX, is an uncommon benign lesion of the stomach.

It is also known as xanthelasma and stomach lipidosis.

General

  • Uncommon.
  • Benign.

Gross/endoscopic

  • Yellowish nodule or plaque.[1]
    • Classically lesser curvature and antrum.[2]

Microscopic

Features:[1]

  • Collections of lipid-laden macrophages within the gastric lamina propria.
