Abstract

Pretibial myxoedema and thyroid acropachy are rare manifestations of Graves’ disease. Clinically, pretibial myxoedema is characterised by hyper-pigmented, asymmetrical, indurated non-pitting lesions of the lower limbs, whilst thyroid acropachy presents as digital clubbing and swelling of digits and toes. We describe a 59-year-old female, who presents with pretibial myxoedema and thyroid acropachy, a decade post-thyroidectomy for Graves’ disease.
