Graves' dermopathy is one of the extra-thyroidal manifestations of Graves' disease (GD) and is characterized by the accumulation of glycosaminoglycans in the reticular dermis. In the majority of cases, pretibial myxedema is self-limiting but, in some cases, it can lead to structural and functional damage. Topical steroids with occlusive dressing remain the conventional treatment, but intralesional steroids have shown promising results. We hereby present a case of pretibial myxedema treated successfully with intralesional triamcinolone acetate.
格雷夫斯病皮肤病变是格雷夫斯病(GD)的甲状腺外表现之一,其特征是网状真皮中糖胺聚糖的积聚。在大多数情况下,胫前黏液性水肿是自限性的,但在某些情况下,它会导致结构和功能损害。外用类固醇加封闭敷料仍然是传统治疗方法,但病灶内注射类固醇已显示出有希望的结果。我们在此报告一例经病灶内注射醋酸曲安奈德成功治疗的胫前黏液性水肿病例。
