Authors
Abstract:
Cutaneous manifestations of thyroid diseases can be divided into three groups:1-Specific lesions such as the thyroglossal duct cyst and cutaneous metastases form thyroid malignancy.2-Nonspecific signs secondary to thyroid hormone imbalance.3-Cutaneous signs of associated systemic and dermatologic disorders.This review constitutes a summary and update of the cutaneous manifestations of thyroid diseases.

Available data suggest that thyroid hormone plays a pivotal role in embryonic development of mammalian skin as well as in maintenance of normal cutaneous function an adult skin.

A solitary skin metastasis is a rare manifestation of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). A 55-year-old woman presented with a movable subcutaneous nodule in her anterior neck for several months. Three years ago, she underwent total thyroidectomy and remnant ablation for classical PTC (pT3N0M0) and was under thyroxine suppression therapy without any evidence of recurrent disease. The subcutaneou...
full textThe Effect of Maternal Thyroid Disorders (Hypothyroidism and Hyperthyroidism) During Pregnancy and Lactation on Skin Development in Wistar Rat Newborns
Objective(s): Previous studies have shown that thyroid hormones are necessary for normal development of many organs and because of the importance of skin as the largest and the most important organ in human body protection in spite of external environment, the study of thyroid hormones effects on skin development is considerable. In this survey we have tried to study the effects of maternal h...
full textThe Thyroid Hormone Receptors Modulate the Skin Response to Retinoids
BACKGROUND Retinoids play an important role in skin homeostasis and when administered topically cause skin hyperplasia, abnormal epidermal differentiation and inflammation. Thyroidal status in humans also influences skin morphology and function and we have recently shown that the thyroid hormone receptors (TRs) are required for a normal proliferative response to 12-O-tetradecanolyphorbol-13-ace...
