Abstract
Relapsing polychondritis is a disease of unknown etiology whose main characteristic is the chronic inflammation and destruction of the different cartilaginous structures of the body. A rare case is presented, the rareness being the fact that ear cartilage was not affected and that the destructive arthropathy was similar to that produced by rheumatoid arthritis.
