Abstract:
We report one case of leukemic synovitis in a patient with a 40-year history of rheumatoid arthritis. The synovial fluid sample and synovial biopsy specimen showed myeloblastic cells. So, leukemic synovitis can be suspected in a patient with inflammatory rheumatism and adequate diagnostic procedures should be carried out.
