Search this article

Description

Subcutaneous rheumatoid nodules occur commonly in advanced cases of rheumatoid arthritis and are the most common extra-articular lesion of this disease. We present a case of a very unusual giant rheumatoid nodule that developed on the lateral side of a knee. The case was devoid of systemic symptoms of arthritis and the lesion was limited to a rheumatoid nodule. The nodule was successfully treated by surgical excision. However, other new nodules developed in her hand. Her clinical course has not been satisfactory.
