Verruciform xanthoma with negative human papilloma virus (HPV): Rare benign tumor of scrotum

Abstract

Verruciform xanthoma is a very rare benign neoplasia that usually involves the oral cavity. It was reported that arises on vulva, scrotum, penis, the anal region and the extremities with a small number of cases outside the mucosa. The macroscopic appearence of the lesion lead to a clinical misdiagnosis of condyloma accuminatum, verrucous carcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma. The excision of the lesion and histopathological examination is required for differential diagnosis. The etiopathogenesis of this lesion is still controversial. HPV positive cases was reported in the literature. But the relationship between HPV and verruciform xanthoma could not be explained. In this report, we aimed to present verruciform xanthoma of the scrotum because of its rarity, HPV negativity and mimics malign lesion, clinically.
