Remitting seronegative symmetrical synovitis with pitting edema is a benign condition characterized by polyarticular joint pain with swelling of dorsum of hand and foot and mainly seen in elderly. It is a diagnosis of exclusion when other causes of polyarticular arthritis are ruled out. It shows dramatic response to steroids. We are presenting a case of middle age female with complaints of swelling of bilateral wrist, ankle and dorsum of hands and feet for 1 year which responded to treatment.
