RA is a chronic systemic inflammatory disease, many reports highlighted the occurrence of RA in SCD presenting as diagnostic challenges for cases with chronic inflammatory arthritis, SCT also have appeared to persist in some populations at a perplexingly high rate given the degree of early mortality of homozygosity of SCD, our case report showed that not only SCD but if a patient has SCT they can develop RA as complication. Our case report concludes that during the evaluation of a SCT patient who presents with chronic synovitis, one should strongly consider the possibility of coexistence of RA and SCT.
