Oral manifestations of lipoid proteinosis: A case report and literature review

Abstract

Lipoid proteinosis is an uncommon autosomal recessive metabolic disorder that presents in early life with hoarseness and pox-like acneiform scars involving the skin and mucous membranes. Previous studies have attributed the prevalence of lipoid proteinosis to consanguineous parents. This paper reports a classical case of lipoid proteinosis with oral manifestations but without a history of consanguinity.

Keywords: Acneiform scars; Consanguinity; Hoarseness; Lipoid proteinosis; Monoliform blepharosis.
