Livedo reticularis.
A middle-aged woman was admitted to the hospital with livedo reticularis of the extremities in addition to nonspecific symptoms and signs of hypothyroidism. The livedo reticularis disappeared with treatment of the hypothyroidism. Although livedo reticularis has been reported previously to be associated with thyroid disease, this association is rare. We review the literature and present the conditions associated with livedo reticularis.
