%X Remitting seronegative symmetrical synovitis with pitting oedema is a rare rheumatological condition, predominating in the elderly male. It is characterised by the abrupt onset of marked pitting oedema, symmetrical distal synovitis, absence of rheumatoid factor and an excellent response to glucocorticoids. RS3PE may be the harbinger of a malignancy so the diagnosis should prompt evaluation and exclusion of such condition; in these cases, the response to glucocorticoids is only partial and treating the neoplasia is essential. The differential diagnosis includes late-onset rheumatoid arthritis, polymyalgia rheumatica and calcium pyrophosphate crystal-related arthritis. We present the case of a patient with remitting seronegative symmetrical synovitis with pitting oedema associated with clear cell renal cell carcinoma.
