| description | Relapsing polychondritis is an acute, recurrent and progressive inflammation and degeneration of cartilage and connective tissue including
that within the tracheobronchial tree affecting men and women equally and usually in the middle age. Serious airway manifestations occur
in at least half of these patients. We present to you an interesting case report of a 20-year-old female who presented with exertional
breathlessness. Imaging revealed diffuse calcification of pinna and tracheobronchial tree. Based on the characteristic clinical features and
imaging studies a diagnosis of relapsing polychondritis was attained. |
