Synopsis
Some reports in the literature have suggested that GA is associated with certain triggers or systemic diseases, such as thyroid disease, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, malignancy, and infections; however, this is now considered controversial.
Rare cases of GA presenting around the eye have been reported; it usually presents in a nodular (subcutaneous) form and is more often seen in younger patients. There have been rare case reports of patients with GA developing uveitis; however, whether this is associated is still unknown.
