    Abstract:
    Relapsing polychondritis is a rare illness in which the cartilaginous tissues such as auricles, nose, laryngotracheal structures, joints and others, are affected. Customary treatment is based on corticosteroids and traditional antiinflammatory agents including aspirin and indomethacin. We describe a case of relapsing polychondritis in an 82-year-old man with associated diabetes mellitus and special features treated successfully with alternative therapy based on methotrexate and celecoxib.
