Pretibial mucinosis in a patient without Graves disease.

Although an uncommon location, cutaneous mucinoses may present in the pretibial area in distinct clinical circumstances. The terms pretibial myxedema and pretibial mucinosis often are used interchangeably, but pretibial myxedema should be regarded as a type of pretibial mucinosis. We present a case of cutaneous mucinosis localized to the pretibial area of a patient without Graves disease.
