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.
黄色瘤是组织内局限性非肿瘤性病变，可表现为丘疹、斑块或结节。这些病变可出现在胃肠道的任何部位，常见于胃和结肠，很少见于小肠和食管。食管胃十二指肠镜检查（EGD）及活检是诊断的金标准工具。在此，我们报告一例老年黑人女性下消化道孤立性结节状食管黄色瘤的罕见病例。相应地，我们回顾了英文医学文献中报道的所有食管黄色瘤病例，并与本报道病例一同呈现。
