Relapsing polychondritis—A study of four cases

Abstract

Abstract Four case reports of relapsing polychondritis, (RP), are presented, together with a literature review and management suggestions. There are approximately 211 reported cases in world literature making RP an uncommon condition associated with high morbidity and mortality rates. The key to the management of RP is based on accurate and early diagnosis though the ideal medical regimen has yet to be elucidated.
