| description | A 10-year-old girl with juvenile idiopathic arthritis in remission presented with a flare of her arthritis. All her joints responded to treatment except the right knee, despite the use of disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication and high-dose cortisone. A magnetic resonance imaging scan showed a knee densely packed with rice bodies. After surgical removal of the rice bodies the inflammation settled once again, and the patient remains well on her usual medication. |
