- * Its exact cause is unknown, and while it can occur in healthy people, it has also been seen in those with autoimmune conditions or chronic graft-versus-host disease (GvHD).
- * The recommended treatment is to surgically remove the lesion, as demonstrated in a case involving a successful excision from a 56-year-old patient with GvHD after stem cell transplantation for Non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
Article Abstract
The oral verruciform xanthoma (OVX) is a rare, benign lesion that occurs predominantly in the masticatory region of the oral cavity. The OVX is small, slow growing, and mostly free of clinical symptoms. The exact pathogenesis is unknown, and a viral etiology such as from a human papillomavirus (HPV) infection has not been proven. Although primarily observed in healthy individuals, there have been cases in patients with autoimmune diseases and with chronic graft-versus-host disease (GvHD). The treatment of choice is complete excision of the lesion. This case report showcases a successful surgical removal of an oral verruciform xanthoma on the left buccal mucosa in a 56-year-old patient with GvHD 14 years after allo-genic stem cell transplantation due to a Non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
