Abstract
BACKGROUND
Lipoid Proteinosis (LP) or Hyalinosis Cutis et Mucosae or Urbach-Wiethe disease is a rare autosomal recessive genodermatosis characterized by an amorphous hyaline material deposition in the skin mucosa and viscera. The clinical symptoms of this disease often begin in childhood, which persist throughout life. Skin manifestations include inflammation, scaling, acne, and eventually ulceration, and hyaline amorphous deposits in these areas of the wound cause a waxy and thick appearance on the skin. In addition, wounds leave atrophic scars like chickenpox.
AIM
Herein, we present the first case of LP in the north of Iran; although LP is a sporadic disease, it occurs all around the world, with about 400 cases worldwide having been reported thus far.
PATIENT
We report the case of a 28-year-old female with a history of skin lesions on her face, scalp, extremities, and buttock, as well as hoarse cry, respiratory problems, dysphagia, and migraine since childhood. There was no evidence of other clinical presentations. A biopsy was taken from the lesions, and the patient was diagnosed with LP. A laryngeal laser was performed for the patient, and peeling creams were used for her skin lesions.
RESULT
According to previous findings, there has been no case report of LP with systemic symptoms in the north of Iran.
