Abstract

Although the clinical significance of gastric xanthelasmas is unclear, they are important lesions because they may be confused with malignant lesions. The etiopathogenesis is also unclear, but chronic gastritis, Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection, diabetes mellitus and hyperlipidemia have been implicated. Xanthelasma is more frequent in women and its incidence increases with age. The lesions are frequently located in the stomach, and less frequently in the esophagus, duodenum and the colon. The lesions have a yellowish-white appearance, are between 0.5 and 10 mm in size and can be single or multiple. Xanthelasmas were found to be associated with chronic gastritis, gastrointestinal anastomoses, intestinal metaplasia, and H. pylori infection. These lesions are predisposing conditions for gastric cancer. Therefore, endoscopic biopsy is mandatory and careful follow-up is required. In this paper, four patients who attended hospital with abdominal pain and dyspepsia and by chance were found to have xanthelasmas on endoscopic examination are presented, and gastric xanthelasmas are discussed.

Özet

Gastrik xanthelasma, klinik önemi bilinmemekle birlikte, malign lezyonlarla karışabileceği için önemli lezyonlardır. Etyopatogenezi bilinmemektedir. Kronik gastrit, Helicobacter pylori infeksiyonu, diabetes mellitus ve hiperlipidemi, etyopatogenezden sorumlu olabilir. Kadınlarda daha sık görülür ve insidans yaşla artar. Lezyonlar sıklıkla midede daha az sıklıkla özofagus, duodenum ve kolonda yerleşir. Sarımsı-beyaz renkli, 0.5-10 mm büyüklükte tek veya çok sayıda olabilir. Xanthelasma kronik gastrit, gastrointestinal anastomoz, intestinal metaplasia, H. pylori infectionu ile birlike bulunur. Bu lezyonlar gastrik kanserler için predispozan nedenler olduğundan lezyonlardan endoskopik biyopsi alınması ve vakaların takibi gereklidir. Bu yazı da karın ağrısı ve dispeptik yakınmalarla hastaneye başvuran ve endoskopik incelemesinde tesadüfen xanthelasma tespit edilen 4 vaka sunularak gatstrik xanthelasmalar tartışıldı.
