Abstract

A 46-year-old-lady with seropositive rheumatoid arthritis presented with a typical history of Morton's metatarsalgia. Examination revealed a palpable tender mass between the third and fourth toes of her right foot. She underwent excision of the lesion. Histology revealed a Morton's neuroma embedded within the substance of a rheumatoid nodule. This has rarely been described previously and supports the concept of direct neural irritation as a factor in the pathogenesis of Morton's metatarsalgia.
