    Relapsing polychondritis (RP) is a rare autoimmune disease causing cartilage inflammation. This case highlights an unusual RP presentation without ear cartilage involvement and with rheumatoid arthritis-like joint destruction.

    Area of Science:

    • Rheumatology
    • Immunology
    • Genetics

    Background:

    • Relapsing polychondritis (RP) is a rare multisystemic autoimmune disorder of unknown etiology.
    • Characterized by chronic inflammation and destruction of cartilaginous structures throughout the body.

    Observation:

    • A rare case of relapsing polychondritis is presented.
    • The patient's presentation was unusual, notably sparing auricular cartilage.
    • The patient developed destructive arthropathy resembling rheumatoid arthritis.

    Findings:

    • This case demonstrates an atypical clinical manifestation of relapsing polychondritis.
    • The absence of typical ear cartilage involvement and the presence of rheumatoid arthritis-like arthropathy are key distinguishing features.
    • Highlights the diverse and sometimes overlapping clinical spectrum of autoimmune cartilaginous diseases.

    Implications:

    • This case expands the known clinical spectrum of relapsing polychondritis.
    • Suggests potential shared pathogenic mechanisms or diagnostic challenges between relapsing polychondritis and rheumatoid arthritis.
    • Emphasizes the need for comprehensive evaluation in suspected cases of autoimmune chondritis.
