Abstract
Gastric xanthelasma is a benign condition that must be differentiated from early carcinoma. The first descriptions of this condition appeared in the literature >100 yr ago but, to date, no adequate photographs of the gross endoscopic appearance have been published. With the hope of increasing awareness of this condition, we report a case of gastric xanthelasma in a patient with previous partial gastrectomy and review the existing literature. We also present photographs with the typical endoscopic characteristics of the lesion.
