A life‐threatening exacerbation of LP in this patient was reported previously 7 . Several small haemorrhagic crusts, measuring 3–5 mm in diameter, had been observed at almost every visit.…”

“…LP usually runs a benign, stable, and slowly progressing course. Although rare, there may be life threatening exacerbations especially during childhood (5). The life expectancy of individuals with LP is normal, but the quality of life is influenced strongly by disfiguring lesions, thickened skin, permanent hoarseness and shortness of breath, and, if present, epileptic seizures.…”

Lipoid proteinosis (LP) is a very rare, autosomally recessive, inherited disease. It is also known as Urbach Wiethe disease or Hyalinosis cutis et mucosa. LP usually runs a benign, stable, and slowly progressing course. We present one LP case with additional unusual dermatologic involvement; verruca vulgaris was superimposed on papular lesions of LP. To our knowledge, this case is the first and only one described in the literature. In this presentation, we discuss the possibility of predisposition to Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) infections in LP.

Lipoid proteinosis (LP) is a rare, autosomal-recessive disease characterized by the hoarseness and widespread cutaneous scarring, more prominent on sun-exposed areas. Yellow-white plaques can be seen on oral mucosa and on the skin among depressed scars. Histological evaluation of the affected sites shows accumulation of hyaline-like material in dermis and disruption of basement membrane. Although LP is compatible with normal life expectancy, involvement of upper respiratory tract may endanger patient's life, especially in the case of a respiratory tract infection. Involvement of central nervous system has also been reported, but its clinical importance is obscure. Due to the rarity of LP, a definite therapeutical approach is not established. In this paper we describe a 21-year-old LP patient who was treated with acitretin for six months. Although the outcome with cutaneous lesions was not satisfactory, her hoarseness was significantly improved.
