Rheumatoid nodulosis, a benign variant of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), is a rare condition characterized by multiple subcutaneous nodules and positive rheumatoid factor in the absence of systemic manifestations or joint disease. Asymptomatic nodules rarely require treatment, and are unlikely to recur after excision, except in cases in which RA develops. Here, we describe an unusual case of recurrent rheumatoid nodulosis in a 42-year-old female presenting with recurrent subcutaneous nodules on the plantar side of her left foot, which caused pain when walking. Nodules were initially excised to control symptoms; however, since the excision, the nodules have recurred twice in the absence of other RA symptoms.

The twenty percent of rheumatoid arthritis patients experience rheumatoid nodules, particularly over their extensor surfaces. There have been some reports of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus and rheumatoid nodules. A 44 year-old female patient has had a skin lesion on the buttock for one year, which was a slightly depressed brownish indurated patch. She was diagnosed as systemic lupus erythematosus and treated for ten years. Histopathologic findings of the skin lesion showed appearances consistent with rheumatoid nodules. We experienced a case of rheumatoid nodule in a systemic lupus erythematosus patient and first report in Korea.

We are reporting about a case of a rheumatoid nodule, beneath the ischial tuberosity, mimicking ischiogluteal bursitis. Rheumatoid nodules are frequently seen, at the subcutaneous soft tissues of repetitive mechanical irritation points, and prominent bones. There have been no reported cases of rheumatoid nodules, extending just beneath the ischial tuberosity bone. A 68-year-old woman with a seven-year history of rheumatoid arthritis, suffered for six months, from right buttock swelling and discomfort in seating. A cystic lesion postero-inferior to the ischial tuberosity, was noted in the MRI scan, which was thought to be ischiogluteal bursitis, because of its characteristic location and appearance. Histopathologic analysis and gross findings on the operation, revealed no evidence of bursitis.

BACKGROUND: Elderly-onset rheumatoid arthritis (EORA) is considered to be different from younger-onset rheumatoid arthritis (YORA) in clinical manifestations, laboratory indices, and in prognosis. However, the differences between these two diseases have not been clearly defined. The aim of this study was to more clearly define the clinical characteristics of EORA. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed 50 EORA and 58 YORA patients who met the classification criteria established by the American College of Rheumatology (ACR). The two groups (EORA and YORA) were compared by three criteria. First, we considered the patterns of the joints involved and the presence of rheumatoid nodules. Second, we compared the disease activity indices and the level of auto-antibodies. Finally, we compared the use of medications. RESULTS: The mean age-of-onset and the women-to-men ratio in the EORA group was 66.2+/-5.5 years and 2.1:1, respectively. There was more large joint involvement seen in the EORA group. The titer of disease activity indices (ESR, CRP) and positive rate of auto-antibodies (rheumatoid factor, ANA, but not anti-CCP antibody) were also higher in the EORA group. We found no differences in the prescribed medications between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS: From these studies, we believe that EORA has higher disease activity indices at onset and greater joint involvement, along with higher titers of auto-antibodies as compared to YORA.
