Abstract
Report about a case of relapsing polychondritis in a woman aged 60 years, which was proofed through autopsy. There was involvement of the trachea, the bronchial system and the cartilages of the ribs. The cartilages of nose and ear did not show any typical changes; therefore the diagnosis could not be established during life. The pecularities of the clinical picture and the pathohistological findings are reported in detail. It seems that the polychondritis is related in it's pathogenesis to the rheumatic disorders. tthe etiology, however, remains obscure.
