Gastric carcinoma in association with remitting seronegative symmetrical synovitis with pitting edema.
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.
