Exophthalmos, myxedema and osteoarthropathy (EMO) comprise the triad known as EMO syndrome. Thyroid dysfunction followed by Graves’ ophthalmopathy (GO) commonly was its classic manifestation. The elephantiasic variant was rarely seen. Herein, we reported an unusual case of EMO syndrome associated with severe elephantiasic subtype of pretibial myxedema.
