This group of terms, however, is distinct from the earlier choices, "generalized localized myxedema" and "scleromyxedema."The earlier reports of Dalton and Seidell1and of Montgomery and Underwood2have clarified the essential features of the disease, so that numerous reports of it can now be found in the literature.
