Abstract

Local swellings of the foot are a common presentation in rheumatological practice. In the following case report, an epidermoid cyst presenting with the typical features of monoarticular arthritis is described in a 27-year-old woman. The differential diagnosis of forefoot swelling is discussed, with particular emphasis on epidermoid cysts and monoarticular arthritis.

WHO estimates that half of all patients worldwide are non-adherent to their prescribed medication. The consequences of poor adherence can be catastrophic, on both the individual and population level.

Join our expert panel to discover why you need to understand the drivers of non-adherence in your patients, and how you can optimize medication adherence in your clinics to drastically improve patient outcomes.
