Abstract

Granuloma annulare is self-limiting cutaneous condition of unknown etiology, causing necrobiotic dermal and subcutaneous papules. A number of conditions have been described in association with Granuloma annulare, including lymphoma, anemia, intestinal bleeding, seronegative arthralgia, vasculitis and autoimmune thyroiditis. This manuscript, as the first report of this combination in Iran, describes an unusual case of relapsing, concomitant anterior uveitis and biopsy proven granuloma annulare.
