Granuloma annulare preceding the diagnosis of Sjögren's syndrome

Anti-SSA antibody and Schirmer tests were also positive. Since the patient had ophthalmic manifestation (persistent eye dryness for more than three months), oral manifestation (mouth dryness for more than three months), positive Schirmer test, and anti-SSA positivity, she was diagnosed with Sjögren's syndrome by rheumatologists according to the proposed criteria.2 Granuloma annulare is a poorly understood condition characterized by variable clinical presentations with two predominant histopathologic patterns: palisading and interstitial granulomatous inflammation.
