Pulmonary rheumatoid nodules in a patient treated with golimumab.

A diagnosis of rheumatoid nodules was made based on the clinical setting, radiographic features, cultural exams and histopathology findings. There have been reports suggesting they may develop during TNF inhibitors therapy, mainly observed with etanercept. Only one other case has been described with golimumab. Treatment discontinuation resulted in regression/stability of the lesions in most patients, as happened in our case.
