Abstract

RESTREPO, Mauricio. A male patient with polyarthritis, inflamed ears, splenomegaly and diaphoresis during the night. Acta Med Colomb [online]. 2007, vol.32, n.3, pp.132-135. ISSN 0120-2448.

This a clinical case of a patient with chronic polyarthritis of the hands and feet, who also reported red eyes and recurrent painful inflamation of the ears, as well as a cervical mass, splenomegaly and diaphoresis during the night. The diagnosis of polycondritis was made associated to hematological neoplasia of the leukemia/lymphoma type, recurrent associated to chronic lymphoids. At the end, there is a list of some rheumatic manifestations of neoplastic disorders and special emphasis is placed on relapsing polychondritis as a possible para-neoplastic manifestation, highlighting that there are very few associations reported in the national and international literature between relapsing polychondritis and malignant lymphoma.

Keywords : polychondritis; malignant lymphoma; leukaemia; paraneoplastic syndromes.
