Xanthogranulomatous gastritis: association with xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis.

Abstract

ResultsThe gastrectomy specimen consisted of a 12 x 10 cm segment of stomach with irregular mucosal and serosal surfaces. On sectioning of the antropyloric region, a firm, yellowish-white

Xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis associated with a xanthogranulomatous pseudotumour on the left diaphragm

“…One case of xanthogranulomatous infiltration of the gastric wall has been described [5]. As previously reported by others [4,6,7], in patients with XGC there is a high incidence of complications such as gallbladder perforation, fistulation (to the skin, the colon and the duodenum), hepatic abscesses and gallbladder strictures.…”

Xanthogranulomatous gastritis of the remnant stomach mimicking a malignant tumor: A case report

“…Although no studies have described a correlation between xanthogranulomatous gastritis and previous gastric surgery, the pathogenesis in the present case may be associated with the response following the previous surgery, as the tumor was located at the previous suture line. In addition, Guarino et al (11) suggested the potential correlation of bile …”

“…However, rare cases of xanthogranulomatous inflammation have additionally been reported in other organs, including the stomach, colon, pancreas and uterus (3-6). The occurrence of xanthogranuloma of the stomach is rare, and only a few cases have been reported to date (6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of xanthogranulomatous gastritis in the remnant stomach.…”

“…Preoperative diagnosis of xanthogranulomatous inflammation is difficult and its' features are unknown (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6). A xanthogranuloma occurring in the stomach is rare, and to the best of our knowledge, only a few cases have been reported to date (6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16). In such cases, the disease was preoperatively misdiagnosed as a submucosal tumor or advanced gastric cancer, and gastrectomy was performed (6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16).…”

Cytology of Gastrointestinal Histoplasmosis

“…Goblet cell metaplasia in Barrett's esophagus and stomach show a smooth, bland nucleus not deformed by a vacuole. Xanthelesma of the stomach, xanthogranulomatous 8 and granulomatous gastritis, 7 foreign body granuloma, inflammatory pseudotumor, muciphages, melanosis coli, storage disorders (such as polyvinyl pyrollidine disease 9 ) and inflammatory bowel disease all contain cells with benign histiocytes.…”
