Journal of the Indian Society of Pedodontics and Preventive Dentistry. 2008 Sep; 26(3): 125-7http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/114868White spongy nevus (WSN) is a rare hereditary dyskeratotic hyperplasia of the mucous membranes. It is an autosomal dominant disorder with variable penetrance. A few cases of WSN occur due to de novo mutations. We report a case of WSN in a 12-year-old female child, with none of her family members having similar lesions.engChildEpithelium --pathologyFemaleHamartoma --diagnosisHumansMouth Diseases --diagnosisMouth Floor --pathologyMouth Mucosa --pathologyPalate, Soft --pathologyTongue Diseases --diagnosisCase Reports
