【 摘 要 】

Relapsing polychondritis is an inflammatory systemic disease leading to cartilage destruction. It is thought to be an auto-immune pathology. The auricular, nasal and articular chondrous tissues are the most affected ones. Biopsy can confirm the diagnosis. The authors review the literature and describe one case that was well controlled with corticoid therapy.
