    Author: Small P, Black M, Davidman M, de Champlain ML, Kapusta MA, Kreisman H.
    Journal: J Rheumatol; 1980; 7(6):915-8. PubMed ID: 7205833.
    Abstract:
    Relapsing polychondritis, a rare disorder characterized by inflammation of cartilaginous tissue, is often associated with vasculitic features. Wegener's granulomatosis is an uncommon form of vasculitis, usually responsive to treatment with cyclophosphamide. A 59-yr-old man with relapsing polychondritis, initially well controlled by corticosteroid therapy, developed pulmonary infiltrates and glomerulonephritis. After pathological confirmation of Wegener's granulomatosis, cyclophosphamide therapy was instituted and remission achieved.
