| Title | Cutaneous granulomas in rheumatoid arthritis. | | Author(s) | Collaris EJ, van Marion AM, Frank J, Poblete-Gutiérrez P | | Institution | Departments of Dermatology and Pathology, University Hospital Maastricht, The Netherlands. | | Source | Int J Dermatol 2007 Nov.:33-5. | | Abstract | A 57-year-old man with rheumatoid arthritis and myasthenia gravis developed an asymptomatic erythematous plaque on his nose and skin-colored nodules on the elbows. Histopathological examination was suggestive of palisaded neutrophilic granulomatous dermatitis (PNGD). PNGD is a rather uncommon cutaneous finding in different collagen vascular disorders that can manifest with a broad range of clinical symptoms and histological signs. Based on the case report of the patient described here, we briefly discuss what is currently known about this disease. | | Language | eng | | Pub Type(s) | Journal Article
