          Abstract

          Thyroid acropachy is a rare manifestation of autoimmune thyroid disease, in the form of soft tissue swelling of the hands and feet with insidious onset, associated with clubbing and characteristic periosteal reactions. It is usually part of a syndrome consisting of a typical triad of thyroid acropachy, exophthalmos, and pretibial myxedema. The purpose of this case report is to demonstrate the imaging features of this typical triad in a 65-year-old-woman. This case is the first in which the MRI features of thyroid dermopathy are documented.
