Cutaneous manifestations of Relapsing Polychondritis
Dermatologic manifestations occur in 35% of patients and are most common in patients with MDS. Oral aphthosis and leukocytoclastic vasculitis are most common.
The aphthosis may resemble Behçet’s disease and have the acronym MAGIC syndrome (mouth and genital ulcers with inflamed cartilage), an overlap of RPC and Behcets.
Multiple other skin lesions can occur including nodules resembling erythema nodosum (15%), alopecia, abnormal nail growth, superficial thrombophlebitis, and others.
