Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) commonly presents as a chronic additive symmetric inflammatory polyarthritis involving the small and large joints. Rarely do patients present with few or no clinical symptoms, despite apparent signs of inflammation. This condition, known as arthritis robustus, typically occurs in elderly males who are manual laborers with an active lifestyle. It is essential to diagnose arthritis robustus and start treatment promptly to avoid the development of deformities and other complications in the future.
