Pretibial myxedema is a rare skin lesion in Grave's disease, which required topical glucocorticoid administration in long-term treatment. The patient's lesion has shrunk and become flatter than before treatment.
We present a case of biopsy-verified pretibial myxedema in a 70-year-old male patient with diagnosed hyperthyroidism and no prior history of Graves' disease. Topical corticosteroid and antithyroid drug administration led to successful resolution of the skin lesions. This case emphasizes the importance of considering pretibial myxedema even in atypical presentations of Graves' disease and underscores the value of prompt treatment.
胫前黏液性水肿是格雷夫斯病中一种罕见的皮肤病变，长期治疗需要局部应用糖皮质激素。患者的病变已缩小，且比治疗前更平坦。
我们报告一例经活检证实的胫前黏液性水肿病例，患者为一名70岁男性，诊断为甲状腺功能亢进，既往无格雷夫斯病病史。局部应用皮质类固醇和抗甲状腺药物成功治愈了皮肤病变。该病例强调了即使在格雷夫斯病的非典型表现中也需考虑胫前黏液性水肿的重要性，并突出了及时治疗的价值。
