    Author: Manganelli P, Quaini F, Olivetti G, Savini M, Pileri S.
    Journal: Clin Rheumatol; 1997 Sep; 16(5):480-4. PubMed ID: 9348144.
    Abstract:
    Relapsing Polychondritis (RP) is a systemic disorder characterized by an inflammatory process involving predominantly cartilaginous structures and the cardiovascular system. Lymphadenopathy is a very uncommon finding of RP. We report on a patient affected by RP presenting with lymphadenopathy of Castleman-like type quickly responsive to corticosteroids. The bronchial involvement and the evolution of the inflammatory process in a 3-year follow-up has been documented by computed tomography of the chest.
