Verruciform xanthoma (VX) is a rare finding thought to be caused by epidermal damage from trauma or inflammation and has been reported in a limited number of patients with recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB). Herein, we describe a 20-year-old woman with RDEB who developed a large, verrucous, pink plaque on the posterior thigh that was histologically proven to be a VX. We review cases of VX in patients with RDEB and summarize the clinical features, pathophysiology, and management principles.
Keywords: epidermolysis bullosa; neoplasms- benign.
