Rheumatoid lung nodule, also rheumatoid nodule of the lung and pulmonary rheumatoid nodule, is an uncommon benign lung lesion associated with rheumatoid arthritis.

| LM | mixed inflammatory infiltrate, +/-giant cells, no micro-organisms |
| LM DDx | necrotic pulmonary nodules in Crohn's disease, infectious pneumonia, amyloidosis of lung |
| Stains | ZN -ve, GMS -ve |
| Site | lung - see medical lung diseases |
|

| Associated Dx | rheumatoid arthritis |
| Clinical history | +/-hx of rheumatoid arthritis |
| Prevalence | uncommon |
| Radiology | upper lung fields, peripheral, round, +/-cavitation |
| Clin. DDx | only lung lesions - esp. malignancy |
