Abstract
The occurrence of multiple lesions of this rare tumour in our patient was probably not fortuitous. Immunosuppression associated with oral chronic inflammatory lesions are certainly involved in the pathogenesis of these two verruciform xanthomas, for example following degeneration of epithelial cells after local chronic irritation and/or reduction of Langerhans cells. Systematic research of enhancing or triggering factors seems essential in verruciform xanthoma.
