Images of the month: Verruciform xanthoma: an easily confused disease

Clin Med (Lond). 2020 Jul;20(4):e123-e124. doi: 10.7861/clinmed.2019-0477.

Abstract

Verruciform xanthomas occur primarily in the mouth, but sometimes in the anogenital region, which may cause clinical confusion with genital warts. We present a case where a 70-year-old man presented with an asymptomatic warty lesion on the scrotum and verruciform xanthoma was confirmed by histopathological results.

Keywords: Verruciform; xanthoma.
