A Case of Verruciform Xanthoma

—Clinical Evaluation of Japanese Cases Involved in the Skin—

Abstract

A 59-year-old Japanese man, who complained of yellow red and verrucous nodule on the left scrotum, was presented. Histological findings showed an irregular elongation of the rete ridges and numerous foamy cells with large cytoplasma in the papillary and upper dermis, which were stained with SudanIII. There have been 20 such cases reported in Japan, of which 18 were male and 2 were female. All patients were afflicted with genital lesions except for one with scalp lesion.
