Abstract

Verruciform xanthoma is a rare benign lesion. The most common presentation is at the oral mucosa level, although it has also been described at other locations. Our case is the twelfth verruciform xanthoma of the penis ever published. We highlight the relevance of the differential diagnosis and its excellent prognosis, the choice treatment being the simple exeresis of the lesion.
