title: Gastric carcinoma in association with remitting seronegative symmetrical synovitis with pitting edema.
abstract: We describe an elderly woman who developed remitting seronegative symmetrical synovitis with pitting edema (RS3PE). In addition to typical findings, she had increased alkaline phosphatase; and investigations revealed metastatic gastric carcinoma. The literature relating to RS3PE in association with neoplasia is reviewed.
