The syndrome of remitting seronegative symmetrical synovitis with pitting edema (RS3PE) is a rare diagnosis that is often missed due to lack of both definitive diagnostic criteria and awareness of the disease. This case report describes a patient with chronic lymphocytic leukemia whose diagnosis of RS3PE was possibly delayed due to concomitant treatment-related arthralgias. The pathophysiology, presentation, and treatment of RS3PE are discussed. Greater awareness of malignancy-related RS3PE is crucial from a palliative care perspective as typical opioid pain management will prove ineffective and delay appropriate treatment.
缓解型血清阴性对称性滑膜炎伴凹陷性水肿综合征(RS3PE)是一种罕见的诊断,由于缺乏明确的诊断标准和对该疾病的认识,常被漏诊。本病例报告描述了一名慢性淋巴细胞白血病患者,其RS3PE的诊断可能因同时存在的治疗相关关节痛而延迟。文中讨论了RS3PE的病理生理学、临床表现及治疗。从姑息治疗的角度来看,提高对恶性肿瘤相关RS3PE的认识至关重要,因为典型的阿片类药物疼痛管理将证明无效,并会延迟适当的治疗。
