- Xanthomas of the stomach is frequently found during esophagogastroduodenoscopy especially in elderly patients in Korea. It is generally accepted as an aging process and is closely related to Helicobacter pylori infection.

In this review, we tried to describe the pathogenesis and clinical significance of gastric xanthomas.
