Lipoid proteinosis is a rare autosomal recessive disorder that can affect the majority of organ systems, but most frequently presents due to its characteristic skin and mucous membrane changes. This was illustrated in a 27‐year‐old patient. Because its manifestations are easily misinterpreted, one might reasonably assume that the incidence of lipoid proteinosis may be higher than previously reported.
