    Verruciform xanthoma is considered to be a rare tumor-like lesion. We report a case of large oral verruciform xanthoma in an 87-year-old man. Intra-oral examination revealed an irregularfolded and whitish surfaced mass of buccal mucosa measuring 50 × 20 mm in size. Clinically, malignant tumor was suspected because of partial erosion with hemorrhage was recognized on the mass. A biopsy specimen showed the lesion to be suspected as verruciform xanthoma. Under general anesthesia, the lesion was surgically resected. Oral verruciform xanthomas were usually less than 30 mm in size, and this case was the largest one described so far. Post-operative course was uneventful with no sign of recurrence for 1.5 year after surgical treatment.
