A case of multiple verruciform xanthoma in gingiva

Area of Science:

• Oral Pathology
• Dermatology

Background:

• Verruciform xanthomas are benign inflammatory lesions that can occur in various locations.
• Gingival involvement is rare, and multiple occurrences are even less common.

Observation:

• A case report details multiple verruciform xanthomas presenting on the gingiva.
• The patient exhibited no signs or symptoms of systemic diseases, such as autoimmune disorders or metabolic conditions.

Findings:

• Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of verruciform xanthomas.
• The absence of systemic disease in this patient distinguishes this case from others.

Implications:

• This case expands the understanding of verruciform xanthoma presentation and distribution.
• Highlights the importance of considering localized oral manifestations even in the absence of systemic disease.
