Hyalinosis cutis et mucosae. Review with a case report

Hyalinosis cutis et mucosae (lipoid proteinosis) is a rare disorder characterized by hyaline and lipid deposits in the skin and mucous membrane of the oral cavity, upper respiratory tract, and internal organs. It usually appears in infancy with hoarseness. This disorder is particularly interesting because of its rarity and wide range of clinical manifestations.
