Abstract
<p> A 68-year-old female was diagnosed with malignant lymphoma while undergoing treatment for rheumatoid arthritis (RA). She was started on chemotherapy including rituximab (RTX). Consequently, malignant lymphoma remitted, and RA improved. However, when RA recurred approximately 1 year after the chemotherapy, RTX treatment was repeated following which the symptoms disappeared, and this effect was maintained for about 1 year. RA recurred at an interval of approximately 1 year, and it improved each time with RTX treatment. Increase in rheumatoid factor was detected just before RA recurrences. Therefore, rheumatoid factor was considered to be a useful predictor of RA recurrence.</p>
