  • Title: White sponge nevus.
    Author: Dadlani C, Mengden S, Kerr AR.
    Journal: Dermatol Online J; 2008 May 15; 14(5):16. PubMed ID: 18627752.
    Abstract:
    A 33-year-old-man presented with a 13-year history of asymptomatic, white, folded, soft, poorly-demarcated, diffuse plaques bilaterally on his buccal mucosae and lateral surfaces of his tongue. There is no family history of similar lesions. The physical examination and histopathologic findings were consistent with a diagnosis of white sponge nevus. This rare disorder is typically inherited; however, as in this case, there have been a few other cases reported without a familial background.
