类风湿性关节炎（RA）是一种影响滑膜的慢性炎症性疾病，可导致关节损伤和骨破坏。关节外表现多种多样，涉及多个器官系统。类风湿性结节是常见的关节外表现，发生在20%的RA患者中。最常见于压力区（肘部和手指关节），偶尔也会影响内脏器官，包括胸膜、肺、脑膜、喉等。此外，类风湿性关节炎还会影响耳朵、鼻子和喉咙，引起各种耳鼻喉科症状。在本报告中，我们描述了两例RA和喉部受累的患者，主要是类风湿结节形成，并回顾了文献。
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease affecting the synovial membrane, which causes joint damage and bone destruction. Extra-articular manifestations are numerous, involving multiple organ systems. Rheumatoid nodules are common extra-articular findings occurring in 20% RA patients. They develop most commonly in pressure areas (elbows and finger joints) and may occasionally affect internal organs including pleura, lungs, meninges, larynx, and others. Furthermore, RA affects the ear, nose, and throat, causing various otorhinolaryngological symptoms. In this report we describe two patients with RA and laryngeal involvement, mostly rheumatoid nodule formation, with a review of the literature.
