Abstract

Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic systemic disorder of currently still unknown etiology. Its most serious and debilitating consequences are derived from the destruction of affected joints. An exceedingly large number of reports have described the histopathologic lesions in the rheumatoid joint. However, the interpretation of these observations must be carefully guarded because of the static nature of the studies and the usually advanced stage of joint destruction.
