초록
Relapsing polychondritis (RP) is an uncommon systemic disease that is characterized by episodic and progressive inflam- mation of the cartilaginous structures, which can be very debilitating and in some instances life-threatening. The pathogenic pathways of RP are largely unknown. However, several hypothesis have been suggested. We had an interesting case of ag- gravation of RP due to the infection. Graft cartilage on the nasal tip was affected by RP also. This case can give a clue of re- vealing the pathogenesis of RP. We introduce a case with a review of the literature.
