Relapsing polychondritis (RPC) is an immune-mediated condition associated with inflammation in cartilaginous structures and other tissues throughout the body, particularly the ears, nose, eyes, joints, and respiratory tract. Approximately one-third of RPC cases occur in association with another disease, usually some form of systemic vasculitis, a connective tissue disorder (systemic autoimmune rheumatologic disease), or a myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS).

The clinical features and course of RPC vary considerably from patient to patient. Subtle, early manifestations often remain unrecognized for...

Relapsing polychondritis (RPC) is an immune-mediated condition associated with inflammation in cartilaginous structures and other tissues throughout the body, particularly the ears, nose, eyes, joints, and respiratory tract. Approximately one-third of RPC cases occur in association with another disease, usually some form of systemic vasculitis, a connective tissue disorder (systemic autoimmune rheumatologic disease), or a myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS).

The clinical features and course of RPC vary considerably from patient to patient. Subtle, early manifestations often remain unrecognized for prolonged periods. As a result, the diagnosis is frequently obtained only after the emergence of classic features such as auricular inflammation, saddle-nose deformity, or other features of cartilage destruction. No known clinical or laboraory measures predict the expression of specific disease manifestations or the overall disease course.
