Abstract
We present the case of rheumatoid nodules in the buccal region, in a 78-year-old female patient with rheumatoid arthritis, who presented with swelling of the left buccal region. Resection was performed under general anesthesia and revealed a mass that was a collection of nodules. The pathological diagnosis was rheumatoid nodules which had a central area of necrosis surrounded by palisades of histiocytes. To date, there has been no evidence of disease recurrence.
