Abstract

This report is a case of xanthoma of the colon under endoscopical, hematological, and histopathological examinations. This patient is 61 year-old female who visited our hospital with complaints of lower abdominal pain, diarrhea, general fatigue and weight loss. Multiple xanthomas were found in the entire colon and two adenomatous polyps in the flexura lienalis. Additionally, the examination of the stomach revealed multiple xanthomas. The shape of the xanthomas was various and three types (flat, plateau-like elevation, mushroom-like elevation) were differentiated. There was no hyperlipemia.
