Abstract

Subcutaneous rheumatoid nodules (RNs) are most commonly seen superficial soft tissue lesions which occur in 20-30% of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The foot involvement is rare and only seen in about 1% of all rheumatoid nodules. In this article, we present a 39-year- old female case with a pathologically verified as RN in an uncommon localization with no clear clinical symptoms of RA at onset. The possible role of RNs in early RA was stressed in the patient presenting with inflammatory joint signs in the course of follow-up

Özet

Subkutan romatoid nodüller (RN), romatoid artritli (RA) hastaların %20-30'unda sıklıkla görülen yüzeyel yerleşimli yumuşak doku lezyonlarıdır. Ayak tutulumu nadir olup, tüm romatoid nodüllerinin yaklaşık %1'ini oluşturur. Bu yazıda, nadir görülen lokalizasyonda patolojik tanısı RN olarak doğrulanan, hastalığın başlangıcında RA klinik bulguları olmayan 39 yaşında bir kadın olgu sunuldu. Takiplerinde inflamatuvar eklem bulguları beliren hastada erken RA'da RN'lerin muhtemel rolü vurgulandı
