Context: Xanthelasmas, also known as “xanthomas” and “lipid islands” are yellow plaque-like lesions characterized by the presence of lipid-containing histiocytes. Results: Since, GXs was reported to be associated with potentially serious conditions of the stomach, the whole gastric mucosa should be examined carefully and biopsy should be taken from the lesion during the upper gastrointestinal endoscopy for diagnosis and rulling out gastric malignity. Conclusions: Gastric xanthomas should not be ignored and concomitant conditions should be treated.
