    Area of Science:

    • Rheumatology
    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Podiatry

    Background:

    • Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease.
    • Synovial cysts can develop in patients with RA, often near joints.
    • Plantar foot swelling can be caused by various conditions, including synovial cysts.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a case of a painful synovial cyst originating from a metatarsophalangeal joint in a patient with rheumatoid arthritis.
    • To highlight the clinical presentation and successful management of such a cyst.

    Main Methods:

    • Case report detailing a patient with rheumatoid arthritis.
    • Clinical examination and imaging to diagnose the plantar foot swelling.
    • Surgical excision of the synovial cyst.

    Main Results:

    • A painful synovial cyst was identified originating from a metatarsophalangeal joint.
    • The cyst presented as a plantar foot swelling.
    • Complete excision of the cyst was achieved.

    Conclusions:

    • Synovial cysts originating from metatarsophalangeal joints can present as plantar foot swellings in RA patients.
    • Surgical excision is an effective treatment for painful synovial cysts in this context.
