White sponge nevus (WSN) is a rare benign autosomal dominant disorder. To date, a few hundred cases have been reported worldwide. It is usually manifested as white, soft, and spongy plaque involving the mucous membrane, predominantly the oral mucosa. Careful clinical and histopathological examination is recommended to exclude other more serious disorder presenting as oral white lesions. Herein, we present the second Tunisian case of oral WSN in an 18-year-old female with no familial background. Current approaches in literature to the diagnosis and treatment were also studied.
