Abstract:
RS3PE is used to describe patients who have peripheral seronegative polyarthritis and pitting edema, especially in a man older than 60. It is characterized by sudden onset, high sedimentation rate, lack of bony erosion, remission within 18 months and good prognosis. Whether the RS3PE is a unique disease or syndrome has long been discussed, but conclusion was not obtained. We describe a 72 year old man of RS3PE with a review of the literature.
