Rheumatoid arthritis is a systemic disease which can have multiple cutaneous manifestations. In particular, rheumatoid vasculitis may be difficult to diagnose because of the wide array of clinical presentations. Early recognition can assist the physician in diagnosis and in determination of the proper therapy. Every physician caring for patients with rheumatoid arthritis should be aware of these common dermatologic complications.
