title: Rheumatoid nodulosis: successful response to topical tacrolimus.
abstract: Rheumatoid nodulosis is considered a benign variant of rheumatoid arthritis. Several therapies have been used with variable results. We report a 63-year-old man who presented with nodular lesions on the metacarpophalangeal joints and knees which were diagnosed of rheumatoid nodulosis. Topical tacrolimus was started with good response on the following months.
