Am J Dermatopathol. 1992 Oct;14(5):426-30. doi: 10.1097/00000372-199210000-00009.

Abstract

We report a case of verruciform xanthoma of the ear in a 79-year-old man. The case is unique in that it contained an area of solar keratosis. In situ hybridization using biotin-labeled probe cocktails for human papillomavirus types 6/11, 16/18, and 31/33/35 yielded negative results.
