Can stomach xanthoma become cancerous?

Gastric xanthinoma is usually not cancerous. Gastric xanthinoma is mainly caused by abnormal metabolism of gastric mucosa. In fact, gastric xanthinoma is not a real tumor, but a metabolic dysplasia. Gastric xanthinoma is benign, usually occurs in middle-aged and elderly people, without obvious symptoms, and some people occasionally feel acid reflux. Stomach xanthomas are generally not cancerous, but they are prone to other stomach lesions, some of which may be carcinogenic. Therefore, stomach xanthomas should also be actively treated and followed up.
