Oral Verruciform Xanthoma (OVX) is an uncommon benign lesion of the oral cavity. Most authors consider it to develop as a response to chronic local irritation. It usually presents as a pink, yellow or greyish flat mass occurring on the gingiva, alveolar ridge or hard palate. This paper reports to you the management of a case of Oral Verruciform Xanthoma occurring on the latero-ventral border of the tongue in a young male patient, which is a rare location for this lesion. It goes on to discuss the etiopathogenesis and clinical features of this rare lesion and emphasizes the importance of having a broad knowledge of oral pathologic lesions especially for lesions that resemble malignant or pre-malignant pathologies in the oral cavity.
口腔疣状黄瘤（OVX）是一种口腔罕见的良性病变。大多数作者认为它是对慢性局部刺激的反应而发展起来的。它通常表现为粉红色、黄色或灰白色的扁平肿块，发生于牙龈、牙槽嵴或硬腭。本文向您报告一例发生于年轻男性舌侧腹缘的口腔疣状黄瘤病例，该病变位置罕见。接着讨论了这种罕见病变的病因和临床特征，并强调了对口腔病理病变有广泛认识的重要性，特别是对于那些在口腔中类似于恶性或癌前病变的病变。
