[Whitish lesions in oral mucosa].
Whitish lesions in oral mucosa are usually diagnosed as candidosis, lichen planus or dysplasias. However, other infrequent entities associated with leukoplakia should be borne in mind. We present the case of a 7-year-old girl with whitish lesions in the oral mucosa. Laboratory, mycological and histopathological investigations were performed and the patient was diagnosed with oral white sponge nevus.
