OBJECTIVE "Lipid Iceland's" in gastric mucosa, a rare finding in gastroenterology, is described in this paper. The aim of our investigation was to evaluate the frequency of the so-called "gastric xanthoma" in biopsy specimens and to describe the picture elicited by scanning electron microscopy. METHODS We investigated cell characteristics histochemically, morphometrically and with scanning electron microscopy. RESULTS The frequency of xanthoma in our gastrobiopsy material was 0.018% (4 of 21,650 cases) over a 6-year period. The picture of stomach xanthoma given by scanning electron microscopy is very typical of the condition and is called "rolling stones". CONCLUSIONS We suggest that this diagnostic method warrants further investigation.
