Cutaneous Manifestations of Thyroid Disease : A Case of Thyroid-Induced Myxedema

Abstract EN

The cutaneous manifestations of thyroid disease can be present in the hair, nails, and local or diffuse locations throughout the skin.

Traditionally, thyroid-associated mucin deposition is present in a pretibial location on bilateral lower legs.

We present a case of a growing plaque on the lower back of a 10-year-old girl, whose appearance coincided with a recent diagnosis of Hashimoto's thyroiditis.
