 Lipoid proteinosis is a very rare autosomal recessive disorder with only three hundred cases reported so far worldwide. It is characterized by deposition of hyaline material in the skin and upper aero–digestive tract. We report a case series of three patients with multiple facial scars, beaded skin lesions  and  hoarseness of voice diagnosed as lipoid proteinosis on the basis of clinical and histopathological features . Although there is no definitive treatment, the overall prognosis is good.
