Background:

Palindromic rheumatism is a rare inflammatory condition characterized by episodic arthritis in peripheral joints.
Attacks are typically short-lived (under 14 days) and resolve without lasting damage.

Observation:

The study presents three cases of palindromic arthritis.
Clinical and laboratory findings in these patients align with established descriptions of palindromic rheumatism.

Findings:

Two patients eventually developed seropositive rheumatoid arthritis.
One patient progressed to chronic seronegative polyarthritis.

Implications:

Palindromic rheumatism represents a potential precursor to chronic polyarthritis.

Understanding this evolution is crucial for early diagnosis and management of chronic rheumatic diseases.
