Abstract

Verruciform xanthoma is a rather rare lesion that is mostly confined to the oral mucosa. The clinical
picture may vary considerably. The diagnosis is based on the presence of numerous xanthoma
cells in the connective tissue papillae. A case of verruciform xanthoma on the gingiva in relation
to lower right posterior region in a 43-year-old man is presented. The findings reported in the literature
are also discussed.
