A 24 and 21 year old female patients presented with an asymptomatic, white, folded, soft, poorlydemarcated, diffuse plaques bilaterally on their buccal and labial mucosa. There is no family history of similar lesions. The clinical examination and histopathologic findings were consistent with a diagnosis of white sponge nevus. This rare disorder is typically inherited; however, as in these two cases, there have been only few other cases reported without a familial background.
