THE existence of an extracellular interfibrillar mucinous substance in the dermis and other connective tissues of patients with a deficiency of thyroid hormone has been well known for many years (1–3). However, it remained for Watson and Pearce (4), in their investigations of localized myxedema, to demonstrate that the extracellular material present in

A 74-year-old man presented with mental obtundation and massive ascites without evidence of significant impairment of liver function. Thyroid function studies suggested hypothyroidism. Aspirated ascitic fluid had the characteristics of an exudate. Thyroid replacement therapy resulted in rapid clinical improvement with resolution of the ascites.
