  • Title: Pretibial myxoedema presenting as a scar infiltrate.
    Author: Tong DW, Ho KK.
    Journal: Australas J Dermatol; 1998 Nov; 39(4):255-7. PubMed ID: 9838725.
    Abstract:
    A 41-year-old man developed pretibial myxoedema localized to scars following treatment for hyperthyroidism. Pre-existing scars on both lower legs, present for more than 20 years, were infiltrated with firm and nonpitting nodules and plaques over his shins. The clinical presentation of this patient highlights pretibial myxoedema as a cause of scar infiltration. The pathogenesis of pretibial myxoedema is reviewed.
