Resumo: This report aims to describe a case of white sponge nevus (WSN) diagnosed in a 9-year-old male patient presenting multiple white intraoral lesions since he was eight months old. No other family member exhibited similar manifestations. Intraoral examination showed generalized non-scrapable, thick, irregular, white plaques affecting the lips, bilateral buccal mucosa, tongue, floor of mouth, and oropharynx. His inferior lip presented painful fissures. An incisional biopsy and an exfoliative cytology were performed. Findings showed parakeratotic epithelial cells with dense perinuclear hyperchromatic condensation and cells with cytoplasmatic vacuolization. A diagnosis of WSN was established, and topical clobetasol was administered to lessen the patient's symptoms. Clinical appearance is currently stable. WSN is an uncommon benign disorder characterized by dyskeratotic hyperplasia of mucous membranes. Exfoliative cytology represents a non-invasive technique to aid in WSN diagnosis.
