Coexistence of RS3PE Syndrome and Ankylosing Spondylitis in a Young Male

Abstract

The RS3PE syndrome is the inflammatory rheumatisms of old age, being related to rheumatoid arthritis. Etiology and pathogenesis of this disease is not fully understood and usually seen over 50 years of age and characterized by recurrent symmetrical pitting type edema. We present a case whose clinical symptoms and laboratory findings are compatible with the RS3PE in young male with ankylosing spondylitis. J Clin Exp Invest 2016; 7(4): 290-293
