Abstract

Ever since the introduction of anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) agents, concerns have been raised regarding their potential for developing malignancy.

This case indicates the need for following large cohorts of patients receiving anti-TNF agents to address the long-term effect of these agents on malignancies.
