Objective: To describe a rare case of remitting seronegative symmetrical synovitis with pitting edema (RS3PE) syndrome caused by gouty arthritis.
Clinical Presentation And Intervention: A 76-year-old man presented with swelling and pain in the dorsum of feet and hands bilaterally. From the laboratory and radiologic findings, the diagnosis of gout-induced RS3PE syndrome was made. Conservative therapy with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and intra-articular corticosteroid injection in the wrist joint completely and rapidly resolved all symptoms. The patient was successfully treated with oral administration of NSAIDs and a one-time intra-articular corticosteroid injection in the left wrist joint.
Conclusion: This case demonstrated the importance of considering the possibility of crystal-induced arthritis such as gout and pseudogout, as well as malignant disease, when diagnosing the primary disease responsible for RS3PE syndrome.

Remitting seronegative symmetrical synovitis with pitting edema (RS3PE) syndrome is a rare seronegative synovial inflammatory disease in which fever is a rare symptom.There are few case reports of RS3PE syndrome with fever as the first clinical manifestation in China.In this paper,we report a case of RS3PE syndrome with fever as the first symptom and diagnosed by systematic fever investigation.

The cause of RS3PE syndrome remains unknown, but involvement of the immune system is suspected, and steroids are highly effective. Here, we present a case of an 86-year-old woman with severe anemia and bilateral lower limb edema accompanied by chronic eczema, considered to be caused by RS3PE syndrome.

Objectives: Remitting seronegative symmetrical synovitis with pitting edema (RS3PE) is considered a rare inflammatory rheumatologic disorder that is seen primarily in older adult men. Patients present with arthralgias of large joints accompanied by painful pitting edema of the hands and feet. Few studies have reported the prevalence of metabolic syndromes, including diabetes mellitus and hyperlipidemia in these patients.

We present the case of an elderly man with a small-joint polyarthritis, accompanied by pitting oedema, involving hands and feet, raising clinical suspicion of remitting seronegative symmetrical synovitis with pitting oedema (RS3PE). Treatment with corticosteroids was initiated with significant improvement, but unacceptable iatrogeny ensued, and tapering was not possible without disease flare-up. A trial of tocilizumab allowed disease activity control, slow weaning of corticosteroids and, ultimately, its suspension.

A 65-year-old female was previously diagnosed with remitting seronegative symmetrical synovitis with pitting edema (RS3PE) syndrome by internal doctors in our hospital nine years ago. Computed tomography revealed the presence of multiple disseminated peritoneal nodules with a large tumor mass. Histological analysis of the tumor and peritoneal nodules confirmed the diagnosis of high-grade serous ovarian cancer.
