Background:

Hyalinosis cutis et mucosae (Urbach-Wiethe disease) is a rare genetic disorder.
This report details three distinct cases, including two siblings and one adult patient.

Observation:

Clinical presentation involved characteristic skin lesions.
Laryngeal mucous membrane affection was observed, impacting voice and breathing.
Histopathological examination revealed findings consistent with Urbach-Wiethe disease.

Findings:

Case histories and morphological analysis supported the diagnosis.
Electron microscopy in one case provided definitive diagnostic confirmation.
The observed cases align with established clinical and pathological features of the disease.
