Resumo

Se describe a una paciente de 51 años de edad con artritis reumatoide de 15 años de evolución, seropositiva –factor reumatoide positivo y anticuerpos antipéptido citrulinado positivos–, erosiva, no nodular, con poca adherencia al tratamiento y controles médicos, que presentó un cuadro caracterizado por pancitopenia persistente y hepatoesplenomegalia. La biopsia hepática y de médula ósea descartó tumores, amiloidosis e infecciones. Se discute el diagnóstico diferencial de pancitopenia y hepatoesplenomegalia en una paciente con artritis reumatoide de larga evolución. We describe the case of a 51-year-old woman with a seropositive, erosive, and non-nodular rheumatoid arthritis of 15 year of evolution. The patient had poor compliance with medical visits and treatment. She came to the clinic with persistent pancytopenia and spleen and liver enlargement. Liver and bone marrow biopsies were carried out and amyloidosis, neoplasias and infections were ruled out. We discuss the differential diagnosis of pancytopenia and spleen and liver enlargement in a long-standing rheumatoid arthritis patient.
