Goljan 500page notes
Cell Injury chapter p.16 says Pretibial Myxedema in Hashimoto's thyroiditis and Graves disease.
Kaplan Patho (Endocrine chapter) says: Pretibial Myxedema in Graves, and Myxedema in Hypothyroidism.
My Q is which is right? Is there pretibial myxedema in both HYPER and HYPO thyroidsm, or is it mainly a feature of HYPOthyroidism, and does the cause (deposition of GAG's) have anything to do with Thyroid Hormone levels????
Thanks.

hyperthyroidism goes with PRETIBIAL myxedema and hypo goes with GENERALIZED myxedema
