Abstract
In this paper, two female cases of verruciform xanthoma are reported.
Case No.1 was a 22 year old female who first noticed a swelling of gingival mucosa 3 years ago. Oral examination revealed a slightly whitish, broad based lesion with granular surface 11×11mm in size on the 65 site of palatal gingiva. The clinical diagnosis was papilloma and the histological diagnosis was verruciform xanthoma of papillary type.
Case No. 2 was a 55 year old female with roughly surfaced gingival lesion which was first noticed 2 months ago. Oral examination revealed a slightly raised, whitish lesion of 10-15mm size on the 7 site of lingual alveolar mucosa. White sponge nevus was suspected clinically,
with the histological diagnosis of verruciform xanthoma of flat type.
No relapse occurred in either case after treatment.
