Abstract
- Rheumatoid neutrophilic dermatitis (RND) is a rare distinctive complication of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Clinically, RND is characterized by slightly tender erythematous patches and papules, often associated with vesicles or pustules, which are symmetrically distributed on the extensor surfaces of the extremities. Histopathological findings revealed a dermal neutrophilic infiltration with leukocytoclasia without vasculitis. We report a case of rheumatoid neutrophilic dermatitis associated with seronegative RA.
