摘要

Rheumatoid nodules can be seen in about 30% of patients with rheumatoid arthritis. They are occasionally localized subcutaneously, but they can rarely be seen in visceral organs. Their appearance can be confused with many clinical conditions when they have atypical localizations. To exclude the presence of a malignancy, these lesions should always be investigated. We aimed to discuss a patient with rheumatoid nodule localized in close neighbourhood of hyoid bone, presumed as a malignancy.
