Remitting seronegative symmetrical synovitis with pitting edema (RS3PE) is a rare condition in the elderly and can appear as a first presentation of various types of rheumatic and malignant diseases. We presented a 62-year-old man with the diagnosis of RS3PE based on the clinical sign and laboratory data. Because of the possibility of associated malignancies in RS3PE, FDG PET/CT was performed to exclude occult tumors. The images showed multiple, symmetrically, diffusely increased F-FDG uptake in the soft tissue around joints and bones in the shoulders, hips, knees, and ankles.
缓解性血清阴性对称性滑膜炎伴凹陷性水肿(RS3PE)是老年人中的一种罕见病症,可作为各种风湿性和恶性疾病的首发表现。我们报告了一例 62 岁男性患者,根据临床症状和实验室数据诊断为 RS3PE。由于 RS3PE 可能与恶性肿瘤相关,因此进行了 FDG PET/CT 检查以排除隐匿性肿瘤。图像显示在肩部、臀部、膝盖和脚踝的关节和骨骼周围的软组织中存在多个对称、弥漫性的 F-FDG 摄取增加。
