Localized granuloma annulare and autoimmune thyroid disease. Are they associated?

Can Fam Physician. 1995 Dec:41:2143-4.

Abstract

This case report identifies a temporal relationship between the diagnosis of localized granuloma annulare and the subsequent development of primary hypothyroidism in a previously healthy 10-year-old girl. We suspect these disorders are associated, but any association between them requires further study.
