[Gastric xanthomatosis in a patient with severe lipid metabolic disorder].

Gastric xanthomas are rare in routine endoscopy, generally ranging from to 2 to 5 mm in diameter, mostly isolated, but in some cases multiple. Their nature has not yet been cleared. In fact, even if they have histochemical characteristics similar to cutaneous xanthelasmas, they are not generally considered closely related to lipid metabolism disorders. The Authors report a case with some peculiarities regarding number, location and dimension of the gastric xanthomas, and point out the possibility of a metabolic disorder in their aetiopathogenesis.
