ABSTRACT
Authors describe a 35 year old man presenting with chronic cough because of respiratory tract involvement of relapsing polychondritis (RP). RP, a rare disease of unknown etiology, is a multisystemic disorder charactered by recurrent inflammation and destruction of cartilage of the external ear, nose, larynx, trachea, and major bronchi. Computed tomography is an important tool in the evaluation of patients with known or suspected relapsing polychondritis. (J Clinical Otolaryngol 2007;18:104–107)
