TY - JOUR TI - Onychomadesis secondary to autoimmune thyroid disease mimicking thyroid acropachy AU - Yorulmaz,, Ahu AU - Yalcin, Basak T2 - Our Dermatology Online AB - Onychomadesis has been described as proximal separation of the nail plate from the nail matrix due to drastic insult to the matrix that induces a total arrest of matrix activity. A vast variety of health conditions, mainly including infections and autoimmune diseases have been implicated in the etiology of onychomadesis. However, up to now no published data is available on the association of autoimmune thyroid disease with onychomadesis. Here, we present a case of autoimmune thyroid disease induced onychomadesis in a 85-year-old woman. Moreover, we highlighted a distinct feature of the patient in that nail findings of the patient exceptionally resemble thyroid acropachy, which is a very rare manifestation of autoimmune thyroid disease.
