摘要：

Pretibial myxedema may occur in 5 to 10 % of patients with hyperthyroidism. Four cases in black Africans ate reported, It has been suggested that pretibial myxedema may be produced by an immunologic mechanism involving increased sensitivity of fibroblasts in the legs to a factor contained in the serum. Pretibial myxedema does not respond to the treatment of hyperthyroidism. The best treatment is a local monthly injection of at least 8 ml of a solution containing 5 mg/ml of triamcinolone.
