Myxedema, strictly speaking, is a boggy swelling of the skin and subcutaneous tissue which results from the deposition of mucin. It traditionally occurs in hypothyroid states, and recognition of this generalized nonpitting edema provides the physician with a reason to suspect hypothyroidism. The lesions of localized myxedema which usually occur in the
