However, a series of studies, including soft tissue ultrasonography, magnetic resonance image, and biopsy revealed nodular mucinosis resulting from Graves dermopathy. Nodular mucinosis is an unusual form of myxedema which mimics tophaceous gout, and should be considered in patients with Graves disease presenting with subcutaneous nodules.
