A 24-year-old male presented with hoarseness of voice and asymptomatic
papular eruption on the face since infancy. He was the second child in
the family, born to consanguineous marriage. His younger sister had
similar disease. He had no history of photosensitivity or blistering,
seizures. He had multiple yellowish waxy papules on the borders of his
eyelids giving it a beaded appearance (Figure 1). Similar lesions were
also seen on forehead, arms and upper trunk. The skin over the face and
neck was shiny and infiltrated with areas of pock like scarring. He
also had vegetating plaques in the intertriginous areas. The lips were
thickened, infiltrated and everted. The buccal mucosa had a distinct
cobblestone appearance. His tongue was firm and enlarged. Systemic
examination did not reveal any abnormalities
