[Atrophic polychondritis associated with ulcerative colitis].
We report the case of a 46-year-old patient in whom ulcerative colitis had been diagnosed three years ago. He was admitted to the hospital for swelling of the nose. Clinical course and complementary exams led us to diagnose atrophic polychondritis. Twelve cases of such an association have been published so far.
