Can rheumatoid nodules in the wrist come and go?
Rheumatoid nodules on the extremities will not typically come and go. However, synovial cysts can fluctuate in presence or appearance. The synovium is the lining of the joint or tendon. As a result of the inflammation from RA, the proliferated synovium can occasionally turn into a cystic or cyst-like structure. Synovial cysts are similar to what are also knowns as "ganglion cysts" or "bible cysts".
