Background: Graves' disease is the autoimmune activation of the thyroid gland causing diffuse enlargement and hyperfunction of the gland. Manifestations of Graves' disease are multisystemic and include thyroid orbitopathy; pretibial myxedema, also referred to as thyroid dermopathy; and thyroid acropachy, described as a severe form of thyroid dermopathy. Our paper focuses on an atypical case of thyroid dermopathy. Case presentation: An 11-year-old Saudi male presented with a prominent diffuse goiter and exophthalmos. Investigations were consistent with a diagnosis of Graves' disease. The physical exam showed diffuse, non-pitting swelling of the ankle and penis, mimicking a lymphatic malformation. Further, multiple nodules were found on the hands and feet. Treatment of the nodules with cautery resulted in more severe nodules. Conclusion: This report describes rare presentations of thyroid dermopathy mimicking lymphatic malformation. The Koebner phenomenon can explain this patient's atypical presentations. Intralesional injections of triamcinolone and total thyroidectomy showed clear improvement. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
