  • Title: Pre-tibial myxedema: treatment with intralesional corticosteroid.
    Author: Ramos LO, Mattos PC, Figueredo GL, Maia AA, Romero SA.
    Journal: An Bras Dermatol; 2015; 90(3 Suppl 1):143-6. PubMed ID: 26312698.
    Abstract:
    The pretibial myxedema is a manifestation of Graves' disease characterized by accumulation of glycosaminoglycans in the reticular dermis. The dermopathy is self-limiting but in some cases may cause cosmetic and functional damage. Conventional treatment is use of topical steroids under occlusive dressing, however the intralesional application has shown good results. We present a case of pretibial myxedema treated with single injection of intralesional corticosteroid.
