Isolated xanthomatosis of the small bowel.
A case of xanthomatosis of the small bowel is described. Beginning with the proximal jejunum, an 85-cm segment of small bowel was distorted by regularly spaced nodular accumulations of lipid-laden macrophages that expanded the submucosa and muscularis and extended to the serosal surface. The conditions often associated with xanthomatosis were not found in this patient.
