A Relapsing Polychondritis and Malignancies: A Case Report and Review of Literature
Journal Title: Journal of Dermatology Research and Therapy - Year 2016, Vol 2, Issue 6
Abstract
Some case reports and series presumed a link between malignancy and relapsing polychondritis. The most frequent described neoplasms have been hematological disorders especially myelodysplastic syndromes. Less commonly have also been reported solid neoplasms as colorectal cancer like our patient. We suggest that patients with RP should be monitored more carefully even in remission for early detection of cancer.
