We present four patients with lipoid proteinosis involving skin, oropharynx and larynx. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Collapse

  Ultrastructure (EM) revealed highly ordered matrix deposits around microvessels, with frequently collapsed lumina, functionally compensated by increased vascular density (histology, IIF). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Pharyngitis

  Biopsies from the eyelid, pharyngeal mucosa, and elbow lesions revealed diffuse amorphous deposits of hyaline material within the dermis and around blood vessels, which stained positively for periodic acid-Schiff, was diastase resistant and stained negatively [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Macroglossia

  Additional symptoms included beaded eyelid papules, macroglossia with yellowish papules, yellowish deposits of soft palate, papular eruption in the axillary area and tuberous nodules on the elbows. [histopathology-india.net]

  Lateral surface of his tongue showed clear indentations of the dentition, indicating macroglossia. The tongue was firm and woody in consistency, with no fibrotic bands on palpation. [jdrntruhs.org]

• Personality Change

  CONCLUSIONS: These individuals illustrate the neurologic spectrum of LP, including variable mental retardation, personality changes, and mesial temporal calcificationand imply that significant neurologic involvement may be somewhat less common than previously [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Human Papillomavirus

  Epidermodysplasia verruciformis (EV) is also a rare autosomal recessive genodermatosis involving susceptibility to human papillomavirus (HPV) infections and squamous cell carcinoma, caused in most cases by homozygous mutations in EVER1 or EVER2. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Previous research on treatment of lipoid proteinosis has focused on genetic etiology and clinical diagnosis of this rare laryngeal disorder. However, few studies on this disorder have examined treatment methods directed at improving voice qualities. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

KEYWORDS: ECM1 gene mutation; epilepsy; ictal EEG; lipoid proteinosis; prognosis [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prognosis is variable depending on the level of CNS dysfunction and involvement of other organs but can be normal. [radiopaedia.org]

The prognosis of lipoid proteinosis is generally good although, the disease is progressive until early adult life. [6] Almost every organ of the body is involved. [e-ijd.org]

Prognosis •Lipoid proteinosis has a stable or slowly progressive course •The presence of this disease is compatible with a normal life span unless altered by airway obstruction or fatal seizure activity •Mortality rates in infants and adults are slightly [slideshare.net]

Etiology and pathogenesis are unknown. Infantile hoarseness is a common presenting feature of the disease due to infiltration of larynx. In two-thirds of the cases, voice changes are present at birth or in early infancy as the first manifestation. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
