Relapsing polychondritis (RPC) is a rare autoimmune disease in which the cartilaginous tissues are the target for inflammation and destruction, the associated immune reaction causes inflammation in non-cartilaginous tissues like kidney and blood vessels. This article provides a description of a case of RPC and a review article about the disease.
