Chronic atrophic polychondritis, a rare condition causing ear inflammation and episcleritis, showed symptom relief with colchicine treatment. This case highlights the diagnostic challenges and varied presentation of this uncommon disease.

Area of Science:

Rheumatology
Ophthalmology
Otolaryngology

Background:

Chronic atrophic polychondritis (CAP) is a rare, relapsing inflammatory condition affecting cartilage.
It presents with diverse clinical manifestations, making diagnosis challenging.
Differential diagnosis for CAP is broad due to its varied symptomatology.

Observation:

A case of chronic atrophic polychondritis is presented.
The patient exhibited chondritis of the ear and episcleritis.
Inflammatory symptoms were observed.

Findings:

Treatment with colchicine led to the subsidence of inflammation.
The prognosis of CAP is uncertain.
The condition necessitates a wide differential diagnosis.
