[A boy with white sponge naevus of the buccal mucosa].

Abstract excerpt

White sponge naevus (WSN) is a rare, autosomal dominant disorder that causes various complaints WSN is most commonly found on the buccal mucosa. Clinically, the white, slightly elevated lesions of WSN may be confused with other disorders on oral mucosa. We report a case of WSN in a 14-year-old boy who had complaints for a considerable period of time. WSN is caused by mutations in KRT4 and KRT13.
