Abstract
There are limited data on the relapsing polychondritis (RP). RP is an uncommon autoimmune disorder that is characterized by recurrent inflammation and destruction of the cartilage and connective tissue in various parts of the body with a high risk of misdiagnosis. Here we present a rare case of a 43-year-old female with relapsing polychondritis with tracheal involvement.
