Abstract
|
|
|
|
Pretibial myxedema is a localized thickening of the skin by mucin deposition. It usually occurs in association with thyrotoxicosis and not infrequently becomes more pronounced after treatment of thyrotoxicosis. Interestingly it is not confined to the pretibial area and the other unusual locations reported are hands, radial aspects of the forearms, feet, ankles, abdomen, and face. Even though there are eight cases of pretibial myxedema in the Korean dermatologic literature, there is no reported case of preradial myxedema. Herein we present a case of preradial myxedema in the Korean dermatologic literature for the first time.
