  • Title: Relapsing polychondritis: a case diagnosed by direct immunofluorescence and coexisting with pseudocyst of the auricle.
    Author: Helm TN, Valenzuela R, Glanz S, Parker L, Dijkstra J, Bergfeld WF.
    Journal: J Am Acad Dermatol; 1992 Feb; 26(2 Pt 2):315-8. PubMed ID: 1569249.
    Abstract:
    A case of relapsing polychondritis with perichondrial IgG and C3, dermoepidermal IgG, and a coexisting pseudocyst of the auricle is reported. The use of direct immunofluorescence testing in establishing a diagnosis of relapsing polychondritis and the expected findings are reviewed. In some cases direct immunofluorescence may allow a diagnosis of relapsing polychondritis before clinical criteria or a routine histologic evaluation suggests a definite diagnosis.
