Table 1

Reports of verruciform xanthoma occurring in patients with diagnosis or clinical evidence of oral lichen planus in the literature.

Anbinder et al. [20]	1	70/M	Labial mucosa	NS	Flat	Reticular	Clinical evidence of lichen planus
Stoopler et al. [21]	1	68/M	Lateral aspect of the tongue	0.5	Papillary	Reticular-atrophic	VX occurring in the site adjacent to OLP lesion
Present case	1	56/F	Lateral aspect of the tongue	1	Verrucous	Reticular-hypertrophic	VX occurring within OLP lesion

NS: not specified; the classification of VX into 3 patterns according to the histological architecture appearance of the lesion was made in 1981 [5].
