[The end stage of a rheumatoid arthritis presenting as a tumorous space-occupying lesion of the left axilla].
In this paper we report on a 67-year old woman suffering from long-term rheumatoid arthritis. She was admitted to hospital because of a hard tumour with the size of a fist in her left axilla. The supposed tumour was proved by conventional radiological and CT examination as an excessive manifestation of the basic disease in the left shoulder joint.
