    Area of Science:

    • Oral pathology
    • Dermatology
    • Genetics

    Background:

    • White sponge nevus is a rare, inherited disorder of keratinization affecting oral mucosa.
    • Characterized by bilateral, white, folded plaques on buccal or labial mucosa.

    Observation:

    • Two cases of white sponge nevus were reported in the same family.
    • The condition was inherited by the daughter from her mother.

    Findings:

    • A positive family history was crucial for the correct diagnosis.
    • White sponge nevus is an entirely benign lesion.

    Implications:

    • Highlights the importance of family history in diagnosing inherited conditions.
    • Facilitates early and accurate diagnosis of benign oral lesions.
