A 53-year-old man was referred to the ENT department with a large mass in the left supraclavicular fossa. The histological diagnosis showed the mass to have arisen due to a granulomatous vasculitis consistent with Churg-Strauss syndrome (CSS). CSS usually comprises asthma, eosinophilia and systemic vasculitis although limited forms of the disease exist where one of these diagnostic criteria is missing. This is one such case as the patient was non-asthmatic.

<p class="abstract">Churg Strauss syndrome (CSS) also known as eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangitis (EGPA), is a rare disease manifested by hypereosinophilia, vasculitis and extravascular granuloma. We report a case of 72 year old male with history of asthma and allergic rhinitis who presented with non-healing ulcer on dorsum of left middle finger and petechial lesions on forearms. Investigations revealed marked eosinophilia, elevated IgE, negative antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA), histopathologic examination showed granulomatous vasculitis and CSS was diagnosed using ACR criteria. We report this case because of rarity of disease and the importance of recognizing similar presentation for early diagnosis and treatment of this life threatening syndrome.</p>
