Abstract:
Herniation of the synovium from the joint space into perioarticular soft tissues is a relatively common complication of adult rheumatoid arthritis, but rare in juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. The most completely described is the popliteal cysts. However, cysts have rarely been reported in the arm. Authors experienced a case of a boy with systemic form of juvenile rheumatoid arthritis who have bicipital synovial cysts in both arm and report this with a review of literature.
