  • Description: [...]a history of autoimmune thyroid disease, an acute presentation within three months, and the classical appearance were consistent with pretibial myxoedema. Thyroid hormone receptor antibodies stimulate fibroblasts, resulting in an increase in glycosaminoglycans and hyaluronic acid in the dermis. 2 Treatment consists of topical or intralesional steroids, occlusive dressing, and comfortable footwear. 3 4 Resolution is variable, based on severity at presentation, and can take months.
