Verruciform xanthoma (VX) is an uncommon benign mucocutaneous lesion with unknown etiology. VX occurs predominantly in oral cavity which also occasionally affects skin and genital mucosa. It was first reported in oral cavity in 1971. Clinically it present as a sessile or pedunculated growth which is usually asymptomatic in nature. The definite diagnosis is always made during a histologic examination. Histologically it is characterized by presence of Para keratinized epithelium showing papillary or verrucous growth. The papilla consists of aggregates of lipid laden foam cells called Xanthoma cells. Here we describe the case report of Verruciform Xanthoma occurring on the mandibular alveolar mucosa in a 58 year old male patient mimicking a papillary lesion.
