Granuloma annulare is a self-limiting cutaneous condition of unknown aetiology, causing necrobiotic dermal and subcutaneous papules. A number of conditions are associated with granuloma annulare, including lymphoma, anaemia, intestinal bleeding, seronegative arthralgia, vasculitis, and autoimmune thyroiditis. This report describes an unusual case of relapsing concomitant anterior uveitis and biopsy proven granuloma annulare. This combination is rare and this patient is the first to be reported in Iran.
Key Words: Granuloma annulare, Skin diseases, Uveitis
