title: [Anesthetic management for a patient with remitting seronegative symmetrical synovitis with pitting edema (RS3PE) syndrome].
abstract: Remitting seronegative symmetrical synovitis with pitting edema (RS3PE) syndrome, described by McCarty et al., is a form of "seronegative rheumatoid arthritis" characterized by an acute-onset polyarthritis with pitting edema of the dorsum of both hands and/or both feet. The syndrome is prevalent in elderly men, completely remitted with a small dose of steroid over a relatively short period, and has a benign clinical course. We describe a case of RS3PE syndrome in a 61-year-old man undergoing a lobectomy of the lung and discuss anesthetic management for the syndrome.
