Abstract
The authors describe the appearance of rheumatoid nodules during cyclo sporin A (CsA) therapy for RA. Their course was evaluated by sonograph y that revealed an increase in number and size of rheumatoid nodules. The relationship between CsA treatment and the onset of nodulosis is n ot clear and further studies are needed to assess the role of CsA trea tment in the extra-articular manifestations of rheumatoid arthritis su ch as rheumatoid nodules.
