Abstract EN
Xanthomas are localized nonneoplastic lesions within tissues that may manifest as papules, plaques, or nodules.
These lesions can be found anywhere along the gastrointestinal tract, commonly in the stomach and colon, and rarely in the small intestine and esophagus.
Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) with biopsy is the gold standard tool for diagnosis.
Here, we report a rare case of a lower solitary nodular esophageal xanthoma in an elderly black female.
Correspondingly, all cases of esophageal xanthomas reported in the English medical literature were reviewed and presented with the reported case.
