Abstract: White sponge nevus (WSN), also known as white fold disease, is a rare oral streak disease with unknown etiology, and has a certain genetic or familial tendency. WSN is easy to be misdiagnosed and mistreated. This paper reports a case of WSN with a typical family genetic history and involving the vaginal vestibule, and reviews the literature to discuss the differential diagnosis and treatment of white sponge nevus and related diseases, in order to provide ideas for clinicians to improve the diagnostic rate and more scientific and appropriate treatment.
