    Background:

    • Lipoid proteinosis, also known as hyalinosis cutis et mucosae or Urbach-Wiethe disease, is a rare autosomal recessive disorder.

    Observation:

    • A 31-year-old man presented with hoarseness, hyperkeratotic skin lesions, and eyelid nodules.
    • He had a history of loss of consciousness.
    • Skull radiographs revealed bilateral symmetrical temporal calcifications.

    Findings:

    • Skin biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of lipoid proteinosis.
    • The clinical and radiological findings were consistent with this rare genetic condition.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of recognizing the diverse clinical manifestations of lipoid proteinosis.
    • Early diagnosis and management are crucial for patients with this rare genetic disorder.
