Abstract

White sponge nevus (WSN) is a rare autosomal dominant asymptomatic keratotic disorder. A case report is presented of a 28-year-old male with a long-standing asymptomatic and widespread oral mucous membrane keratosis. A diagnosis of WSN was made based on his clinical history, the characteristic appearance of the lesion, and the histopathology.
