title: [Lipoid proteinosis in the mouth and laryngeal structures: a case report].
abstract: Lipoidproteinosis is an uncommon autosomal recessive disorder characterized by accumulation of hyaline material in the skin, oral and laryngeal mucosa. A 23-year-old woman presented with complaints of hoarseness and dryness of the mouth. Yellowish papular deposits were noted in the oral and laryngeal mucosa on physical examination, and in vocal cords and laryngeal structures during laryngoscopy. The lesions were removed and histopathologic diagnosis was made as lipoidproteinosis. A slight improvement was obtained in hoarseness. A control examination after two years showed an increase in the extent of hoarseness and new deposits in the vocal cords. The lesions were removed by microlaryngeal surgery.
