Abstract:
Verruciform Xanthoma(VX) is a rare disease of unknown etiology that is typically solitary and predominantly located within the oral cavity. It is usually not associated with other lesions or metabolic abnormalities. Histologic features include acanthosis with uniform elongation of the rete ridges and xanthomatous cells that lie in are and typically confined to the papillary dermis. We report a rare case of multiple verruciform xanthoma that occurs in oral cavity and gastrointestinal tract simultaneously.
