title: Remitting seronegative symmetrical synovitis with pitting oedema in young adults: a subset of rheumatoid arthritis or a distinct syndrome?
abstract: Three young adult patients with seronegative symmetrical polysynovitis affecting the peripheral joints with pitting oedema of both dorsum of hands and feet are described. All of these patients had a benign course and resolved completely within 10-15 months of the onset. None developed any deformities or erosions and/or relapse of arthritis after prolonged follow-up.
