Relapsing polychondritis is a rare syndrome thought to be autoimmune in nature and characterized by inflammation and degeneration of cartilage. The association with a reticuloendothelial malignancy has not previously been reported. A 46‐year‐old man presented typical clinical manifestations of relapsing polychondritis requiring 30 mg of prednisone daily for suppression. However within 6 months he developed chronic fatigue, fevers, night sweats, adenopathy, and splenomegaly leading to the diagnosis of Hodgkin's disease.
