ABSTRACT
Verruciform xanthoma represents a reactive lesion, common in the skin and somewhat rare in the mouth. Cases description Two cases of verrucous white plaques, located on the tongue and the floor of mouth of different 30-years-old man and woman and clinically diagnosed as leukoplakia, are described. The histopathological analyses confirmed the diagnosis of oral verruciform xanthomas for both lesions. Practical implications Despite of uncommon in the oral cavity, the verruciform xanthoma, particularly when affecting regions with a higher risk of developing oral cancer, should be included in differential diagnosis of oral potentially malignant disorders. The histopathological analysis remains as "gold standard technique" for a more accurate diagnosis of oral verruciform xanthoma. Key wordsFoam cells, Verruciform xanthoma, Leukoplakia, Tongue.
