Study of the lipods in the skin lesions in Urbach-Wiethe disease.
A patient with Urbach-Wiethe disease was studied, with special attention given to the analysis of the skin and mucosal lesions. An eosinophilia in the peripheral blood and a diabetic tendency were found. The skin papules and mucosal plaques contain abundant lipids, especially cholesterol (66 percent) and phospholipids (27 percent).
