Verruciform xanthoma has a slight male predominance, and it also has a tendency to occur on the scrotum of middle‒aged-to-elderly Japanese men.
Most cases of verruciform xanthoma are reported in whites, but blacks are also affected. Most scrotal cases of verruciform xanthoma occur in middle‒aged-to-elderly Japanese men. This may be caused by chronic pressure associated with the Japanese tradition of sitting on the floor.
Verruciform xanthoma is uncommon, with a frequency of 0.025-0.095%.
Most oral cases of verruciform xanthoma occur in middle-aged persons (mean age, 40-60 y), and most scrotal cases occur in middle‒aged-to-elderly Japanese men (mean age, 65 y). However, the age at occurrence varies widely; verruciform xanthoma can occur in persons aged 2.5-89 years.
