Localized Myxedema on the Upper Eyelids in a Patient of Hypothyroidism
International Journal of Dermatology and Clinical Research
Letter to Editor
Localized myxedema may be observed in hypo/hyperthyroidism [1]. However, the affected sites are usually pretibial area and the lesion on the eye lid is rare. We report a case of myxedema on the bilateral upper eyelids, which was a diagnostic clue of hypothyroidism associated with Hashimoto disease.
