Özet

The nodules associated with rheumatoid arthritis and rheumatic fever appear with other signs of active rheumatic disease. Rheumatoid nodule-like lesions irrelevant to rheumatoid disease occasionally occur in children who are well and have no complaints associated with rheumatoid diseases. Laboratory tests are normal. Children with benign rheumatoid nodule are not at increased risk for rheumatic disease. No therapy or prophylaxis is required. We present a two-year-old girl with a subcutaneous nodule on the right pretibial region who was diagnosed with clinical and histological findings.
