Rapidly progressive relapsing polychondritis following surgery for lung adenocarcinoma: a case report
This case highlights the rare temporal correlation of RP as a paraneoplastic syndrome that can occur prior to or concurrently with tumor onset, but it may also arise following tumor resection. Because of the rarity and adverse consequences of RP, clinicians should improve their recognition of the disease to permit early diagnosis and treatment.
