We report the case of a 71-year-old man with a combination of circumscribed euthyroid myxodermia and clinically visible telangiectasias. We excluded the possibility of a sympathetic lesion being the cause of the telangiectasias by using a new method, transcutaneous PO2 measurement. Different possible reasons for the simultaneous occurrence of mucinosis and telangiectasias are discussed.
