title: Verruciform xanthoma of oral cavity- a case report.
abstract: Verruciform xanthoma is an uncommon benign lesion of undetermined aetiology. It is a superficial normo-lipemic xanthoma, probably reflecting a multifactorial reactive and dystrophic process. Its clinical and pathological recognition and correct diagnosis is critical because it can occur in conjunction with other systemic and cutaneous inflammatory diseases; therefore, it necessitates further clinical assessment. We, hereby report a rare case of verruciform xanthoma in 46-year-old male patient with history of leukemia with emphasis on need of vigilant comprehensive analysis of clinicopathological and immunohistohemical finding to arrive at definitive diagnosis and for better understanding of pathogenesis.
