High-Yield Explanation
Subcutaneous nodule                                                                                                                  It is a rare manifestation of acute RF. Subcutaneous nodules are a late manifestation and appear 6 weeks after the onset of RF. Often seen in association with carditis. Do not appear as isolated manifestation. These are round, firm, painless & nontender, freely movable subcutaneous lesions. Found along the extensor surfaces of tendons near the bony prominences such as elbow, knees, wrists, occiput and spine. Last for a week or two and disappear spontaneously.
