Abstract
- Verruciform xanthoma is a benign growth found on the oral mucosa. Clinically, verruciform xanthoma is an asymptomatic lesion, and depending on the amount of keratin present on the surface of the oral mucosa, it can appear as a reddish-gray papillary, flat lesion or a slightly raised, rough lesion. The verrucous structure and exophytic properties of these lesions are similar to those of malignant tumors; therefore, histopathological assessment is required for an accurate and definitive diagnosis. The purpose of this case report is to present the clinical, histological, and deep learning-based assessments and treatment of verruciform xanthoma of the maxillary palatal gingiva.
