Skin and hair manifestations of thyroid conditions will still present in patients with skin of color; however, they may appear in a more subtle form than in those with fairer skin.Graves disease is the most common hypothyroid disease associated with cutaneous manifestations. Patients with Graves disease may show clinical signs of acropachy or myxedema.The thyroid cancer syndromes include Sipple syndrome, Cowden syndrome, LAMB (lentigines, atrial myxomas, mucocutaneous myxomas, and blue nevi) syndrome, and NAME (nevi, atrial myxomas, myxoid neurofibromas, and ephelides) syndrome. Papillary carcinoma is the most common form of thyroid cancer in North America.
