Abstract
Urbach-Wiethe Disease is an uncommon entity with autosomal recessive inheritance. We describe the clinical and histopathological findings of lipoid proteinosis in this clinical image. Cicatricial alopecia, atrophic scar on face, moniliform blepharosis and alopecia are the characteristic features of this disease entity. Hoarseness of voice and seizure can also be seen in these patients. Skin biopsy confirms the diagnosis. Multidisciplinary involvement is recommended for the management of these cases.
