A 75-year-old woman consulted her doctor in January 2014 because of pain in the dorsum of the hands, elbows, shoulders, and knees, bilaterally, and was diagnosed as having remitting seronegative symmetrical synovitis with pitting edema (RS3PE) syndrome. Although the joint pain improved with low-dose prednisolone administration, she was referred to our department in April of 2014 because she had become aware of swelling of the right cervical lymph node. Biopsy of the lymph node demonstrated that she had Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-positive diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) of the elderly, and colonoscopy revealed early
colon cancer
. Also, both the lymphoma and
colon cancer
stained positive for vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Complete remission was achieved after two courses of R-CHOP, and
RS3PE syndrome
did not relapse. This case suggested the involvement of VEGF produced by EBV-positive DLBCL in the pathogenesis of
RS3PE syndrome
.
