RESUMEN
Ekman-Westborg and Julin [1974: Oral Surg 38:217-222], described multiple macrodontia and multituberculism affecting the teeth without other anomalies (E-WJ). We describe a Chilean case in a 12-year-old with the typical dental alterations and with histopathologic findings that include absence of predentin layer and prominent reduced enamel epithelium. E-WJ is not a syndrome and we propose "multiple macrodontic multituberculism" as a better name for this anomaly of uncertain etiology affecting only the crowns of the teeth.

We review the general clinical and histological characteristics of Verruciform Xanthoma and report a case, presented in a female, 36 years-old, on the floor of mouth, an uncommon localization for this lesion. The Verruciform Xanthoma could be a reactional lesion to candida or another bacteria of oral mucosa, that need a surgical treatment.
