Remitting seronegative symmetrical synovitis with pitting edema (RS3PE) is a rare condition in the elderly and can appear as a first presentation of various types of rheumatic and malignant diseases. We presented a 62-year-old man with the diagnosis of RS3PE based on the clinical sign and laboratory data. Because of the possibility of associated malignancies in RS3PE, FDG PET/CT was performed to exclude occult tumors. The images showed multiple, symmetrically, diffusely increased F-FDG uptake in the soft tissue around joints and bones in the shoulders, hips, knees, and ankles.

It is characterised by the abrupt onset of marked pitting oedema, symmetrical distal synovitis, absence of rheumatoid factor and an excellent response to glucocorticoids.

The cause of RS3PE syndrome remains unknown, but involvement of the immune system is suspected, and steroids are highly effective.
