There are many experimental and clinical studies on the relationship of periodontal disease and endocrine distarbances amang the pathogenetic factors of periodontal disease. As for the human autopsy cases, however, there is only one report that has been reported by Urago et al about the case of hypophyseal adenoma. The authors made observation patho-histologically about the mandible of the autopsy case of myxedema that is a hypothyroidism. The results obtained are as follows ; 1) Patho-anatomical diagnosis: (1) Myxedma (severe atrophy of thyrodi gland, severe edema of organs and tissues, hydrops of cavity). (2) Atrophy of organs. (3) Congestion of the liver, spleen and kidneys. 2) Radiologically, alveolar bone resorptions were showed one third or one half to the root. And the disappearance of lamina dula and the widenning of the periodontal space could be seen. 3) There were no gingival inflammation and pathological pocket farmation. 4) Severe edema of gingiva and periodontal ligament could be seen, and it was partial appearance of generalized edema. 5) The bone resorption was not only limited to the alveolar bone but it also extended widely to bodily and basal part of mandible. Histological findings of the bone resorption parts consisted mainly of osteolysis, and osteoclasis could seldom be seen. 6) The histological changes of periodontal tissues are similar to those of periodontosis.
