Abstract
INTRODUCTION Helicobacter pylori is a major risk factor for gastric cancer. In addition to eradication therapy, early-phase detection of gastric cancer through screening programs using high-vision endoscopy is also widely known to reduce mortality. Although European and US guidelines recommend evaluation of atrophy and intestinal metaplasia by high-vision endoscopy and pathological findings, the guideline used in Japan - the Kyoto classification of gastritis - is based on endoscopic evaluation, and recommends the grading of risk factors. This system requires classification into three endoscopic groups: H. pylori-negative, previous H. pylori infection (inactive gastritis), and current H. pylori infection (active gastritis). Major endoscopic findings in active gastritis are diffuse redness, enlarged folds, nodularity, mucosal swelling, and sticky mucus, while those in H pylori-related gastritis - irrespective of active or inactive status - are atrophy, intestinal metaplasia, and xanthoma. AREAS COVERED This review describes the endoscopic characteristics of current H. pylori infection, and how characteristic endoscopic findings should be evaluated. EXPERT OPINION Although the correct evaluation of endoscopic findings related to H. pylori remains necessary, if findings of possible infection are observed, it is important to diagnose infection by detection methods with high sensitivity and specificity, including the stool antigen test and urea breath test.

Gastric xanthelasma is a warning sign for Helicobacter pylori infection, atrophic gastritis, and intestinal metaplasia. Front Med (Lausanne) 2023; 10:1252346. [PMID: 37727758 PMCID: PMC10505714 DOI: 10.3389/fmed.2023.1252346] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/04/2023] [Accepted: 08/21/2023] [Indexed: 09/21/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Contradictory evidence suggested gastric xanthelasma (GX) was associated with some upper gastrointestinal (GI) diseases. Additionally, no research has been performed on the relationship between esophageal/duodenal xanthelasma and upper GI diseases. Methods Individuals who underwent esophagogastroduodenoscopy at Tongji Hospital, Tongji Medical College, participated in this retrospective study. This study evaluated whether the risk of GX or esophageal/duodenal xanthelasma was influenced by the following gastroesophageal diseases: superficial gastritis, gastric polyp, bile reflux, peptic ulcer, reflux esophagitis, Barrett's esophagus, esophageal cancer, atrophic gastritis (AG), intestinal metaplasia (IM), dysplasia, gastric cancer, and Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection. Furthermore, subgroup analysis was conducted to establish the relationship between the number of GX and upper GI diseases. Results Of the 69,071 subjects reviewed, 1,220 (1.77%) had GX, and 54 (0.08%) had esophageal/duodenal xanthelasma. There was no difference in the prevalence of upper GI diseases between patients with and without esophageal/duodenal xanthelasma. Nevertheless, compared with non-xanthelasma patients, GX patients had a greater proportion of AG, IM, dysplasia, gastric cancer, and H. pylori infection and a lower incidence of superficial gastritis (p < 0.05). The multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated AG (OR = 1.83, 95%CI: 1.56-2.16), IM (OR = 2.42, 95%CI: 2.41-2.85), and H. pylori infection (OR = 1.32, 95%CI: 1.17-1.50) were independent risk factors for GX. In addition, patients with multiple GXs had a higher rate of AG and IM than those with single GX. Conclusion Esophageal/duodenal xanthelasma may not be associated with upper GI diseases, and further research is needed to support this hypothesis. Notably, GX, especially multiple GXs, may be a more easily detected warning sign of AG, IM, or H. pylori infection.

Gastric Xanthelasma, Microsatellite Instability and Methylation of Tumor Suppressor Genes in the Gastric Mucosa: Correlation and Comparison as a Predictive Marker for the Development of Synchronous/Metachronous Gastric Cancer. J Clin Med 2021; 11:jcm11010009. [PMID: 35011751 PMCID: PMC8745081 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11010009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/24/2021] [Revised: 12/13/2021] [Accepted: 12/17/2021] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
A predictive marker for the development of synchronous/metachronous gastric cancer (GC) would be highly desirable in order to establish an effective strategy for endoscopic surveillance. Herein, we examine the significance of gastric xanthelasma (GX) and molecular abnormalities for the prediction of synchronous/metachronous GC. Patients (n = 115) were followed up (range, 12–122; median, 55 months) in whom the presence of GX and molecular alterations, including microsatellite instability (MSI) and methylation of human mutL homolog 1 (hMLH1), cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 2A (CDKN2A) and adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) genes, had been confirmed in non-neoplastic gastric mucosa when undergoing endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for early GC. At the start of surveillance, the numbers of positive subjects were as follows: GX, 59 (51.3%); MSI, 48 (41.7%); hMLH1, 37 (32.2%); CDKN2A, 7 (6.1%); APC, 18 (15.7%). After ESD treatment, synchronous/metachronous GCs occurred in patients with the following positive factors: GX, 16 (27.1%); MSI, 7 (14.6%); hMLH1, 6 (16.2%); CDKN2A, 3 (42.9%); APC, 3 (16.7%). The presence of GX had no significant relationship to positivity for MSI or methylation of hMLH1, CDKN2A or APC. GX was significantly (p = 0.0059) and independently (hazard ratio, 3.275; 95% confidence interval, 1.134–9.346) predictive for the development of synchronous/metachronous GC, whereas those genetic alterations were not predictive. GX is a simple and powerful marker for predicting the development of synchronous or metachronous GC.

Abstract
Early detection of gastric cancer is important. However, rapid growth of gastric cancers that cannot be resected endoscopically occurs even with periodic check-ups. Accordingly, we assessed factors associated with the speed of gastric cancer growth by examining historical endoscopic images. A total of 1996 gastric cancer cases were screened, and characteristics of lesions with slow and rapid growth were assessed. A total of 114 lesions from 114 patients were included in the assessment. Sixty slow-growing and fifty-four rapidly growing gastric cancers were compared. Female sex and incidence of lesions in the lower part of the stomach were significantly less frequent in the rapid-growth group than in the slow-growth group. History of endoscopic treatment tended to be more frequent in the rapid-growth group. Age, body mass index, histology, Helicobacter pylori status, and medications did not differ significantly between groups. Xanthoma was significantly related to rapid growth of gastric cancer, and map-like redness tended to be more frequent in the rapid-growth group in univariate analysis. Xanthoma was significantly related to rapid growth of gastric cancer on multivariate analysis. Further studies are warranted to clarify the pathophysiological mechanisms involved in the speed of gastric cancer growth.

Abstract
Gastric xanthelasma has always been considered a benign lesion of the stomach. It is formed by tissue cells or macrophages phagocytizing a large amount of lipid and accumulating in the lamina propria. However, recent studies have found that gastric xanthelasma is associated with precancerous lesions and gastric cancer, and should be differentiated from signet ring cell carcinoma and clear cell carcinoma of the stomach.

Abstract
Background and Aim Successful Helicobacter pylori eradication has been shown to prevent the development of gastric cancer (GC), but clinical evidence for factors that correlate with GC of previously H. pylori-infected gastric mucosa (after eradication or natural disappearance) is limited. The purpose of our study was to identify these correlative factors. Methods We retrospectively examined data from patients with previously H. pylori-infected gastric mucosa. Data from 168 patients who developed early GC and underwent endoscopic submucosal dissection (Group C) and 835 patients with no history of early GC (Group NC) were compared. We extracted data on gender; age; complications from malignant disease and diabetes mellitus; American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status classification; and endoscopic characteristics of atrophy (open type), intestinal metaplasia, and gastric xanthoma (GX). Correlations were determined with multivariate logistic regression analysis and propensity score matching. Results A significantly higher proportion of patients had GX in Group C than in Group NC. Age, male gender, ASA physical status classification of class III or higher, complications from malignant disease, atrophy (open type), and the presence of intestinal metaplasia and GX were identified as factors that correlated independently with GC (odds ratio = 3.65; 95% confidence interval = 2.37-5.61; P < 0.0001). Propensity score matching demonstrated that the prevalence of GC was also significantly higher in patients who were positive for GX (37.2% vs 18.3%; P < 0.0001). Conclusion GX was shown to correlate with early GC of previously H. pylori-infected gastric mucosa.

Abstract
Background White globe appearance (WGA) is a small white lesion with a globular shape identified during magnifying endoscopy with narrow-band imaging. However, the association between WGA and synchronous multiple gastric cancer (SMGC) remains unclear. Methods Consecutive patients who underwent endoscopic submucosal dissection for gastric cancer (GC) between July 2013 and April 2015 at our institution were eligible for this study. We excluded patients with a history of gastric tumor or gastrectomy. Patients who had more than 2 GCs in their postoperative pathological evaluation were classified as SMGC-positive, and patients who had at least 1 WGA-positive GC were classified as WGA-positive patients. The primary outcome was a comparison of the prevalence of WGA in patients classified as SMGC-positive and SMGC-negative. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed using the following variables: WGA, age, sex, atrophy, and Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) status. Results There were 26 and 181 patients classified as SMGC-positive and SMGC-negative, respectively. Univariate analysis revealed that WGA-positive classification (50% vs. 23%, P=0.008) and male sex (88% vs. 66%, P=0.02) were significant factors associated with SMGC classification, while age ≥65 years (81% vs. 81%, P>0.99), severe atrophy (46% vs. 46%, P>0.99), and H. pylori positivity (69% vs. 65%, P=0.8) were not. In the multivariate analysis, only WGA-positive classification (odds ratio 2.78, 95% confidence interval 1.16-6.67; P=0.02) was a significant independent risk factor for SMGC. Conclusions Our exploratory study showed the possibility of WGA as a predictive factor for SMGC. In cases of WGA-positive gastric cancer, careful examination might be needed to diagnose SMGC.

Abstract
Gastric xanthelasma (GX) is a rare tumor-like lesion customarily found as an incidental finding due to its asymptomatic appearance. Grossly, it is a well-marked yellow-white plaque created in the lamina propria by microscopic clusters of foamy macrophages. Xanthelasma is rarely correlated with gastric hyperplastic polyps; gastric xanthomas are rare benign lesions that appear to be associated with inflammation of the gastric mucosa. Etiopathogenesis is also unclear, but it has been suggested to be involved in chronic gastritis, infection with Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), diabetes mellitus, and hyperlipidemia. The gastric xanthoma prevalence ranges from 0.23% to 7%. Orth first described the condition in 1887. It has been found that xanthelasmas are associated with chronic gastritis, gastrointestinal anastomosis, intestinal metaplasia, and H. pylori infection. These lesions predispose patients to gastric cancer conditions. Xanthoma (GX) was reported to be a predictive marker for early gastric cancer. However, the effectiveness of these scores and xanthoma (GX) as predictive markers for early gastric cancer detected after H. pylori eradication remains unknown.

Abstract
Endoscopic diagnosis of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection, the most common cause of gastric cancer, is very important to clarify high-risk patients of gastric cancer for reducing morbidity and mortality of gastric cancer. Recently, the Kyoto classification of gastritis was developed based on the endoscopic characteristics of H. pylori infection-associated gastritis for clarifying H. pylori infection status and evaluating risk factors of gastric cancer. Recently, magnifying endoscopy with narrow-band imaging (NBI) has reported benefits of the accuracy and reproducibility of endoscopic diagnosis for H. pylori-related premalignant lesions. In addition to NBI, various types of image-enhanced endoscopies (IEEs) are available including autofluorescence imaging, blue laser imaging, and linked color imaging. This review focuses on understanding the clinical applications and the corresponding evidences shown to improve the diagnosis of gastritis based on Kyoto classification using currently available advanced technologies of IEEs.

Pediatr Gastroenterol Hepatol Nutr 2020; 23:110-114. [PMID: 31988882 PMCID: PMC6966225 DOI: 10.5223/pghn.2020.23.1.110] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/02/2019] [Accepted: 11/30/2019] [Indexed: 12/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Gastric xanthoma is frequently an incidental finding on upper endoscopy in adults. Gastric xanthomas (GX) can be mistaken for malignancies and warrant prompt histologic diagnosis. The underlying etiology is not fully understood; however, it has been linked to Helicobacter pylori gastritis and gastric cancer. GX in the pediatric population is largely unreported in the literature. Because of the relative rarity, documentation with case reports are essential to provide as much data as possible to see if there is a correlation between GX and malignant potential in the pediatric population. Our group is reporting two cases, a 10-year-old male and a 7-year-old male, both who presented with chronic dysphagia, upper abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and loss of appetite. Upper endoscopies for both patients revealed small polypoid lesions located in the antrum with foamy histiocytes on histology, leading to the diagnosis of gastric xanthoma.

Abstract
Objective The detection of early gastric cancer (GC) after Helicobacter pylori eradication is expected to increase in Japan. However, the predictive markers for early GC detected after H. pylori eradication have not been extensively studied. We conducted a retrospective, single-center observational study to investigate the predictive markers for early GC detected after H. pylori eradiation. Methods A total of 421 patients underwent endoscopic submucosal dissection for early GC at NTT West Osaka Hospital between June 2006 and August 2017. Data from patients with GC (Group C; n=70) and without GC (Group NC; n=114) after H. pylori eradication were analyzed. Results The proportion of men was significantly higher in Group C than in Group NC (92.9% vs. 65.8%; p<0.0001). Complications with other malignant diseases were more prevalent in Group C than in Group NC. A significantly greater proportion of patients had gastric xanthoma (GX) in Group C than in Group NC (64.3% vs. 14.9%; p<0.0001). Regarding scores for endoscopic findings related to the risk of GC, the atrophy score, intestinal metaplasia score and total score were significantly higher in Group C than in Group NC. A multivariate logistic regression analysis identified male sex, atrophy (open type), the presence of intestinal metaplasia and GX as independent predictors for early GC detected after H. pylori eradication. An atrophy-matched control analysis also identified GX as an independent predictor. Conclusion GX is a novel predictive marker for early GC detected after H. pylori eradication.
