Remitting Seronegative Symmetrical Synovitis with Pitting (o)Edema (RS3PE) syndrome is a rare inflammatory syndrome affecting the elderly, characterized by diffuse symmetrical swelling of the extremities and rapid response to steroids. We present a case of an 84-year old lady, who presented with the typical clinical, laboratory and ultrasonographic findings of the disease, and responded promptly to medium-dose steroids. Then, the epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical features, differential diagnosis and possible associations of the syndrome with other rheumatological conditions and malignancies are briefly discussed. |
