| description | White sponge nevus is an autosomal dominant skin disorder characterized by white, irregular, diffuse plaques mainly affecting the oral mucosa. Histological findings of white sponge nevus are characteristic but not pathognomonic.

No treatment was performed because of the benign and asymptomatic nature of the lesions. |
