    This case study presents rheumatoid disease without arthritis, featuring subcutaneous granulomata and lung fibrosis in a middle-aged man. It highlights rheumatoid factor

    Area of Science:

    • Rheumatology
    • Pulmonology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Rheumatoid disease typically involves arthritis.
    • Subcutaneous rheumatoid granulomata are common manifestations.
    • Interstitial pulmonary fibrosis is an extra-articular feature.

    Observation:

    • A middle-aged male patient presented with multiple subcutaneous rheumatoid granulomata.
    • The patient exhibited a high titer of rheumatoid factor.
    • Diffuse interstitial pulmonary fibrosis and digital clubbing were noted.

    Findings:

    • The patient lacked clinical or radiological evidence of synovial disease (arthritis).
    • This presentation challenges the necessity of arthritis for diagnosing rheumatoid disease.
    • The case supports the existence of rheumatoid disease without joint inflammation.

    Implications:

    • This case expands the understanding of rheumatoid disease spectrum.
    • It emphasizes the importance of considering rheumatoid disease in patients with characteristic extra-articular findings, even without arthritis.
    • Further research may explore the underlying mechanisms of non-articular rheumatoid disease.
