Popis: Subcutaneous nodules of the rheumatic type can occur in patients without other evidence of rheumatic disease. Nodules are characterized by subcutaneous location with predilection for pretibial regions and scalp, occasional large size, spontaneous regression and frequent recurrence. Sometimes lesion biopsy may be usefull for confirmation of the clinical diagnosis; etiology is unknown, therapy is unnecessary. One asymptomatic child with benign rheumatoid nodules is described by the Authors.
