- Dermatology
- Dermatopathology
Background:
- Verruciform Xanthoma (VX) is a rare benign lesion of the oral mucosa.
- Its etiology is often considered reactive, potentially linked to local factors or infections.
- Understanding its clinical and histological features is crucial for accurate diagnosis.
Observation:
- A case of Verruciform Xanthoma is presented in a 36-year-old female.
- The lesion was located on the floor of the mouth, an uncommon site for VX.
- Clinical presentation and histological examination were performed.
Findings:
- The case report details the specific clinical and histological characteristics observed.
- The floor of mouth location is noted as unusual for this type of lesion.
- Differential diagnosis considerations for oral mucosal lesions are discussed.
Implications:
- Verruciform Xanthoma may represent a reactive response to microbial agents such as Candida.
- Surgical excision is the recommended treatment modality for Verruciform Xanthoma.
- Awareness of uncommon presentations aids in timely diagnosis and management of oral lesions.
