| Summary: | Relapsing Polychondritis (RP) is a rare, progressive and multisystemic disease characterized by recurrent inflammation of cartilaginous tissues. In this report, we present a case of RP that consulted from a urologist due to complaints with bilateral hearing loss, tinnitus and bilateral auricular hyperemia three days after renal surgery. A physical examination revealed thickening of both external auditory canals, with edema and erythema of the auricles; bilateral nasal crusting and hyperemia of mucoperichondrium with pain were also present. |
