Could be \"sporting - mutating\". It happens and if it remains true, you might have a new plant to introduce to the trade. That is how a lot of variegated or odd plants come into the plant industry. Often it is a one and done type thing though.

I had this happen to my Philodendron Gloriosum 3 years ago and it was a one and done thing. When it started getting cold, that leaf white/yellow side curled up and died and no other leaf did the same thing.

It was yellow in September 2019 but turned white in mid-October.
