A Rare Association of Disseminated Granuloma Annulare With Recurrent Uveitis.
Curēus 2024 Februrary
Granuloma annulare is a benign chronic inflammatory granulomatous dermatosis with a variable clinical presentation. The disseminated form of the disease is characterized by a widespread papular eruption, primarily affecting the trunk, neck, and extremities. The development of granuloma annulare in patients with systemic diseases, such as diabetes mellitus, malignancy, or dyslipidemia, has been extensively documented. Still, only a few cases of granuloma annulare associated with recurrent uveitis have been reported. Herein, we present a rare case of generalized granuloma annulare that was associated with concomitant recurrent uveitis in a 60-year-old male patient with a history of type II diabetes mellitus. A general physical exam revealed widespread erythematous papules in an annular pattern on the trunk, characteristic of granuloma annulare. A series of tests were conducted, including autoimmune workup, all within normal limits. Histopathologic findings revealed features consistent with granuloma annulare. The patient was successfully treated with systemic corticosteroids for the uveitis and isotretinoin for the skin lesions. A close follow-up is recommended given the rare association of granuloma annulare and uveitis.
