Dapsone effectively treated a rare rheumatoid papules skin rash in a rheumatoid arthritis patient when corticosteroids failed. This finding offers a new treatment option for this uncommon condition.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Rheumatology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Rheumatoid papules are a rare cutaneous manifestation associated with rheumatoid arthritis and other connective tissue diseases.
  • Optimal treatment strategies for rheumatoid papules remain poorly defined due to limited case reports.

Observation:

  • A patient with a history of seropositive rheumatoid arthritis developed a progressive papular eruption on the trunk.
  • Skin biopsy revealed neutrophilic and palisaded granulomatous dermatitis, consistent with rheumatoid papules.

Findings:

  • The papular eruption was refractory to both topical and systemic corticosteroid therapy.
  • Treatment with dapsone resulted in complete resolution of the rheumatoid papules.

Implications:

  • Dapsone represents a promising therapeutic option for managing recalcitrant rheumatoid papules.
  • This case highlights the importance of considering dapsone in the treatment algorithm for rheumatoid papules, especially when conventional therapies are ineffective.
