Granuloma Annulare and Dupuytren Contracture as First Clinical Manifestation of Diabetes Mellitus: A Case Report
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
Granuloma annulare (GA) is a relatively common idiopathic disorder of the dermis and subcutaneous tissue. The lesions typically appear as papules and plaques with annular margins most commonly on dorsal surfaces of hands, arms and feet. GA has been associated with a variety of comorbidities including diabetes mellitus. Dupuytren’s disease (DD) is a common progressive fibrotic condition affecting the palmar and digital fascia. The association of Dupuytren’s disease with diabetes mellitus (DM) is well recorded, with a reported prevalence of between 3% and 32%. Here we present a patient who presented with granuloma annulare, on examination had bilateral Dupuytren contractures and was later found to be diabetic.
