Abstract

Lipoid proteinosis is a rare disorder, inherited as autosomal recessive disorder. Patients affected with lipoid proteinosis can show multiple clinical manifestations as a result of progressive hyaline material deposition in skin, mucous membrane and different organs of body. We are reporting a case of 41 year old Saudi male who presented to Dermatology clinic with progressive skin and oral mucosal lesions. Patient presents with different clinical manifestations most importantly hoarseness of voice, restricted tongue movement and attacks of seizure. Biopsy from oral mucosa was taken and revealed hyaline like deposition in the subepithelial tissue, according to the biopsy result and clinical presentations the patient was diagnosed as a case of lipoid proteinosis. Our main objective is to report a large uncharacterized disease in Arab population such as lipoid proteinosis in middle adulthood male
