Abstract
Relapsing polychondritis (RP) is a rare multisystem disorder. We describe t wo case reports of patients with RP, one of whom developed myelodysplasia s ubtype refractory anaemia (RA) and the other, refractory anaemia with ringe d sideroblasts (RARS). We also review the literature of association between RP and haematological disorders.
