摘要
A 59-year-old woman with a 10-year history of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) presented with chronic ulcers on both feet while undergoing treatment with etanercept. Rheumatoid vasculitis (RV) was diagnosed, and the patient was treated with immunosuppressant drugs and skin grafting. Although anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) agents are known to induce vasculitis, vasculitis can also be caused by active RA. Accordingly, the cause of vasculitis in RA patients receiving anti-TNF therapy must be evaluated carefully.
