Cutaneous vasculitis as early presentation of eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis without systemic symptoms

الملخص EN

Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (formerly known as Churg-Strauss syndrome) is a rare vasculitis in children.

It commonly presents with respiratory symptoms, especially asthma, allergic rhinitis, and peripheral eosinophilia.

Involvement of other systems, such as renal and cardiac, may carry a poor prognosis.

Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies have been found less frequently in children with this condition.

We report a case of a 15-year-old male who presented with indurated and pruritic papules on both legs and peripheral eosinophilia without other system involvement.

Histopathological findings from a skin biopsy were suggestive of eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis.

Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies were negative
