Abstract

The RS3PE syndrome (remitting seronegative symmetrical synovitis with pitting oedema) is of unknown aetiology and is more frequent in old people. It is characterised by seronegative polysynovitis associated with tenosynovitis with marked oedema of the hands and feet. Diagnosis is mainly clinical and the syndrome resolves with steroids. We describe the case of a 79-year-old man who fulfilled all the criteria for the diagnosis of this entity. The interest of this case lies in its infrequent form of clinical presentation.
