Summary
Relapsing polychondritis (RP) is a rare inflammatory disease. This case report highlights an unusual association between relapsing polychondritis and papillary thyroid carcinoma in a Malagasy patient.
Area of Science:
- Rheumatology
- Endocrinology
- Oncology
Background:
- Relapsing polychondritis (RP) is a rare systemic inflammatory disorder affecting cartilaginous and proteoglycan-rich tissues.
- RP can manifest in various clinical forms, potentially leading to diagnostic delays.
- Corticosteroids are the primary treatment for RP, though rare paraneoplastic associations exist.

Introduction
Inflammatory bowel disease, commonly known as IBD, refers to a collection of disorders that lead to persistent inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. The two types of IBD are ulcerative colitis, which impacts the colon, and Crohn's disease, which can involve any part of the gastrointestinal segment.

As the name suggests, non-LTR retrotransposons lack the long terminal repeats characteristic of the LTR retrotransposons. Additionally, both LTR and non-LTR retrotransposons use distinct mechanisms of mobilization. Non-LTR retrotransposons are further divided into two classes - Long interspersed nuclear elements (LINEs) and short interspersed nuclear elements (SINEs), both of which occur abundantly in most mammals, including humans. Some of the active non-LTR retrotransposons in humans are L1...

02:23Abnormal Proliferation
4.3K
Under normal conditions, most adult cells remain in a non-proliferative state unless stimulated by internal or external factors to replace lost cells. Abnormal cell proliferation is a condition in which the cell's growth exceeds and is uncoordinated with normal cells. In such situations, cell division persists in the same excessive manner even after cessation of the stimuli, leading to persistent tumors. The tumor arises from the damaged cells that replicate to pass the damage to the...
