Abstract:
The development of malignancy in the setting of pre-existing connective tissue disease is well known. We report two cases of rheumatoid arthritis who developed malignancy--multiple myeloma in one of them and carcinoma cervix in the other. Case 1 was a 62 year old man, who developed multiple myeloma three years after the onset of rheumatoid arthritis. Case 2 was a 61 year old female with history of rheumatoid arthritis for two years and who developed carcinoma cervix.
