Langerhans cells in verruciform xanthomas: an immunoperoxidase study of 10 oral cases.

Ten oral verruciform xanthomas were studied using an immunoperoxidase stain for S-100 protein. All cases exhibited positively stained dendritic cells among the mononuclear inflammatory cell infiltrate at the base of the lesions and to a lesser extent among the "foam cells". The foam cells were, however, negative for S-100 staining. We suggest that, based on these findings, verruciform xanthomas belong to a new category of "non-X histiocytoses" in which the presence of Langerhans cells suggests an immunologic pathogenesis.
