Abstract: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease that can lead to joint destruction. RA commonly associated with extra-articular manifestation. The most common musculoskeletal related extra- articular presentation is rheumatoid nodules. Rheumatoid nodule of foot and ankle is a rare presentation, reaching up to 1% of all cases. The diagnosis of the rheumatoid nodule is mainly clinical. Ultrasound and MRI are radiological studies that can support the diagnosis of the rheumatoid nodule. Treatment can be either conservative or surgical excision if symptomatic. Rheumatoid nodule usually affects the extensor aspect of the extremities and areas of frequent mechanical contact such as elbow and dorsum of the hand. We are presenting a case of an unusual location of the rheumatoid nodule on the anterior ankle that is reported previously in English literatures.
