description 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.
