Rheumatoid nodule of the temporal bone

  • Ronald A. Hoffman (a1) and Bruce Horten (a1)
Abstract

A 69-year-old woman with severe rheumatoid arthritis presented with a history of chronic otitis and a facial nerve paralysis. She was found to have a rheumatoid nodule involving the mastoid and mesotympanum. This is believed to be the first reported case of a rheumatoid nodule involving the temporal bone.
