The rheumatoid nodule is the most common cutaneous manifestation of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Although nodules commonly are found on pressure points, they may occur at other sites, including ones within internal organs of the body. Thus, bedridden patients can develop nodules on the occiput and ischial areas, and nodules occasionally form on the Achilles tendon and vocal cords. Rheumatoid "nodulosis" is characterized by multiple nodules on the hands and multiple subchondral bone cysts known as "geodes". These nodules tend to occur on extensor surfaces adjacent to joints, elbows, and fingers, as well as the forearm, metacarpophalangeal and proximal interphalangeal joints, occiput, back, heel, and other areas.
