Abstract

Necrotizing granulomatous nodules are a common feature in patients with rheumatoid disease, affecting 20 per cent of seropositive patients. Although most commonly found subcutaneously at points of pressure, these nodules may occur in the connective tissues elsewhere in the body. In the upper aerodigestive tract, nodules have been described in diverse locations, but commonly in the trachea, larynx and the ear. We present the first reported case of a rheumatoid nodule affecting the nasal septum.
