BACKGROUND
Relapsing polychondritis (RP) is a rare, long-term, and potentially life-threatening disease characterised by recurrent paroxysmal inflammation that can involve and destroy the cartilage of the external ear, nose, larynx, and trachea.
CASE SUMMARY
We here report a case of RP involving solely the tracheobronchial cartilage ring (and not the auricular. nasal or articular cartilage) complicated by Sjögren's syndrome in a 47-year-old female whose delayed diagnosis caused a sharp decline in pulmonary function. After corticosteroid treatment, her pulmonary function improved.
CONCLUSION
In such cases, our experience suggested that 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT) and fiberoptic bronchoscopy should be used to diagnose airway chondritis as relapsing polychondritis in the early phase of disease.
背景
复发性多软骨炎（RP）是一种罕见的、长期的、可能危及生命的疾病，其特征为反复发作的阵发性炎症，可累及并破坏外耳、鼻、喉和气管的软骨。
病例摘要
我们在此报告一例仅累及气管支气管软骨环（而非耳廓、鼻或关节软骨）的复发性多软骨炎病例，该病例发生于一名47岁女性，并发干燥综合征，其延迟诊断导致肺功能急剧下降。经皮质类固醇治疗后，她的肺功能得到改善。
结论
在这类病例中，我们的经验表明，应使用18F-氟脱氧葡萄糖正电子发射断层扫描/计算机断层扫描（18F-FDG PET/CT）和纤维支气管镜在疾病早期诊断气道软骨炎为复发性多软骨炎。
