Verruciform xanthoma of the upper-extremity in the absence of chronic skin disease or syndrome: a case report and review of the literature.
[dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa]
Verruciform
xanthoma
is
a
rare
,
benign
lesion
classically
presenting
on
the
oral
mucosa
or
genital
area
.
The
etiology
is
not
yet
completely
understood
;
however
,
verruciform
xanthoma
is
often
associated
with
(
a
)
conditions
of
chronic
inflammation
or
trauma
,
such
as
lichen
sclerosis
,
recessive
dystrophic
epidermolysis
bullosa
,
and
pemphigus
vulgaris
,
as
well
as
in
a
setting
of
(
b
)
chronic
lymphedema
,
(
c
)
chronic
graft
versus
host
disease
,
or
(
d
)
congenital
epidermal
nevi
,
such
as
those
associated
with
the
Congenital
Hemidysplasia
with
Ichthyosiform
nevus
and
Limb
Defects
(
CHILD
)
syndrome
.
We
report
a
case
of
a
solitary
verruciform
xanthoma
on
the
forearm
of
an
82
-
year
-old
man
without
history
of
chronic
dystrophic
skin
disease
or
syndrome
.
In
addition
,
a
thorough
literature
review
of
extra
-
oral
and
extra
-
genital
verruciform
xanthomas
is
presented
.
On
the
basis
of
this
review
,
we
believe
this
case
is
an
extremely
rare
presentation
of
a
solitary
verruciform
xanthoma
on
the
upper
-extremity
of
an
otherwise
healthy
individual
.
