White sponge nevus, a rare genetic leukokeratosis, can affect both oral and vaginal tissues. This case highlights its diagnosis through histopathology and family history, aiding differential diagnosis.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Genetics
  • Gynecology

Background:

  • White sponge nevus is a rare, benign, autosomal dominant leukokeratosis.
  • It predominantly affects the oral mucosa but can involve extraoral sites like the vulvovaginal mucosa.

Observation:

  • A case study of a 34-year-old woman with white sponge nevus involving vaginal, labial, and oral mucosae is presented.
  • The patient's condition was diagnosed via histopathologic study of vulvovaginal lesions, examination of extragenital mucosae, and family history.

Findings:

  • Histopathology confirmed white sponge nevus affecting multiple mucosal sites.
  • The case underscores the importance of a comprehensive diagnostic approach for rare genetic conditions.

Implications:
