This case report details a 42-year-old man with lifelong white spongy oral lesions. Histology confirmed epidermolytic hyperkeratosis, a rare finding in oral mucosa.

Area of Science:

  • Oral pathology
  • Dermatology
  • Genetics

Background:

  • White spongy lesions of the oral mucosa can present from childhood.
  • Differential diagnosis is crucial for accurate management.

Observation:

  • A 42-year-old male presented with extensive, lifelong white spongy oral lesions.
  • Similar lesions were noted in a sibling, suggesting a potential hereditary component.

Findings:

  • Histologic examination of oral biopsies revealed multiple foci of epidermolytic hyperkeratosis.
  • Epidermolytic hyperkeratosis is a condition characterized by specific changes in the epidermis.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of considering epidermolytic hyperkeratosis in the differential diagnosis of congenital or lifelong oral white lesions.
