A case of 80‐year‐old man with a verruciform xanthoma on the right side of the scrotum was reported. The tumor was examined histologically by light and electron microscope. We surveyed the literature and found 25 Japanese cases and 11 foreign cases in the skin. We also reviewed the pathogenesis and the location of this disease.
