Abstract:
We present further evidence that granuloma annulare and autoimmune thyroiditis may be associated. Only 11 cases have been previously reported with this association as far as we know. It may be advantageous to consider checking the thyroid-stimulating hormone and/or antithyroid antibodies before administering medications that could affect thyroid function in patients with granuloma annulare.
