Abstract
A 59-year-old woman developed a rash and severe arthralgia, which primarily affected her fingers. She displayed digital arthritis and nodules on the hands, chest, face, and oral cavity. Blood samples were normal. Skin biopsies revealed histiocytic proliferation. The surface marker profile and clinical findings were consistent with multicentric reticulohistiocytosis, which may occur as a paraneoplastic phenomenon. On workup, she was diagnosed with an otherwise asymptomatic stage IVC fallopian tube cancer. She experienced little effect of prednisolone, but her condition improved on antineoplastic treatment.
