title: Verruciform xanthoma of the gingiva: report of three cases.
abstract: Forty-seven English and Japanese cases (including three new cases) of verruciform xanthoma of the gingiva were analyzed. Males were affected more frequently than females, and the average age of the patients was 40.9 years. Both maxillary and mandibular gingivae were affected. The most frequent site of involvement in both jaws was the premolarmolar gingiva. Simple surgical excision was the treatment of choice.
