J Am Acad Dermatol. 1992 Feb;26(2 Pt 2):312-5. doi: 10.1016/0190-9622(92)70043-f.

Abstract

A 69-year-old man with a history of relapsing polychondritis developed a widespread cutaneous eruption that was clinically and histologically typical of erythema elevatum diutinum. This eruption was accompanied by a recurrence of arthralgias. The significance of this association between relapsing polychondritis and erythema elevatum diutinum, which has not been previously reported, is discussed.
