title: Oral lipoid proteinosis.
abstract: This literature review of oral lipoid proteinosis and a case report of an infant with this condition describe an uncommon condition inherited as an autosomal recessive trait, but one which is more likely to occur in this country than elsewhere. The article discusses other lesions which could be mistaken for oral lipoid proteinosis, and offers some pertinent aspects of its diagnosis and management.
