Treatment of a patient with relapsing polychondritis: Case report
Relapsing polychondritis is a systemic disease characterized by inflammation of cartilage and proteoglycan-rich tissues leading to progressive deformity and dysfunction of the involved structures. Ear and nasal chondritis and/or polyarthritis are the most common clinical forms of the disease (80%), but all types of cartilage can potentially be involved. Due to the polymorphic nature of the disease, the diagnosis of relapsing polychondritis often remains unclear due to non-specific symptoms. In this article, we offer a clinical observation of this disease.
