  • Title: Pretibial myxoedema associated with Hashimoto's thyroiditis.
    Author: Cannavò SP, Borgia F, Vaccaro M, Guarneri F, Magliolo E, Guarneri B.
    Journal: J Eur Acad Dermatol Venereol; 2002 Nov; 16(6):625-7. PubMed ID: 12482050.
    Abstract:
    Pretibial myxoedema is a cutaneous mucinosis typically associated with Graves' disease, although it may also develop in subjects with non-thyrotoxic thyroid pathologies. This report presents a rare case of pretibial myxoedema occurring in a 58-year-old woman with biopsy-proven Hashimoto's thyroiditis. The hypothetical pathogenetic link between the two disorders is discussed with particular attention to the role of thyroid stimulating hormone receptor antibodies.
