  • Title: Verruciform xanthoma in association with a vulval fibroepithelial polyp.
    Author: Kishimoto S, Takenaka H, Shibagaki R, Nagata M, Yasuno H.
    Journal: Br J Dermatol; 1997 Nov; 137(5):816-20. PubMed ID: 9415249.
    Abstract:
    We report the clinical, light microscopic, immunohistochemical and ultrastructural features of a verruciform xanthoma that developed in association with a vulval fibroepithelial polyp. To our knowledge, this is the first time that this association has been reported. Immunohistochemical findings confirmed that the xanthoma cells were of a monocyte/macrophage lineage. In addition to typical histological characteristics, prominent vascular ectasias were detected in the deep dermis at the periphery of this lesion. The ectasias may play a part in pathogenesis.
