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 thyroidacropachy presents as digital clubbing and swelling of digits and toes. We describe a59-year-old female, who presents with pretibial myxoedema and thyroid acropachy,a decade post-thyroidectomy for Graves’ disease.
