Verruciform xanthoma of the oral mucosa

Characterization of verruciform xanthoma by in situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry

“…In the present series, clinical analysis revealed that the average age, sex and race of the patients with oral VX and the location of the lesion are strikingly similar to findings previously reported (1)(2)(3)27,28). Three recurrent cases, including one in the present investigation, have been documented out of approximately 140 oral VX,…”

Verruciform xanthoma of the palatal gingiva: a report of two cases

“…The color of VX can vary between white, pink, and yellow, depending on the thickness of the overlying epidermis. VX contains foam cells, which are lipid-containing histiocytes found within the submucosal substrates2,3. These findings are similar to those observed in leukoplakia, papilloma, verruca vulgaris, condyloma acuminata, and certain malignant lesions, and it is thus necessary to differentiate VX from these lesions with a tissue biopsy4,5.…”

Verruciform xanthoma: A case report and a review of recurrent cases

“…[ 3 ] Leucoplakia has a typical white patch or a plaque with a rough texture. [ 13 ] Oral squamous cell carcinoma is a white or reddish ulcerated lesion and has rolled up margins with a central necrotic area. [ 14 ] As the lesion was associated with leukoplakia, the diagnosis was not very straight forward in our case.…”
