White sponge nevus
text:
White sponge nevus (WSN) is an autosomal dominant condition of the oral mucosa. It is caused by one or more mutations in genes coding for keratin, which causes a defect in the normal process of keratinization of the mucosa. This results in lesions which are thick, white and velvety on the inside of the cheeks within the mouth. Usually, these lesions are present from birth or develop during childhood. The condition is benign and usually requires no treatment. WSN can, however, predispose affected
