چکیده
|
We presented a case report of eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (egpa) with hepatic involvement which presented itself as multiple nodules in the liver. this confirmed hprevious literature results, which have reported hepatic involvement in egpa. the results of the study showed a 45-year-old female with asthma, presented with polyarthralgia, hypostasis in both hands and skin lesions on the body. lab tests revealed elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate (esr) and c-reactive protein (crp). the total leukocyte count was 11900 (/ul) with 22% eosinophil. computed tomography (ct) scan of both lungs and liver showed multiple irregular nodules. in the biopsy of the skin lesions, eosinophilic vasculitis was reported. electromyography and nerve conduction velocity (emg-ncv) was compatible to c8-t11 radiculopathy and axonal sensory motor polyneuropathy. according to the tests and biopsies the patient was diagnosed with egpa. although egpa is characterized by asthma, hypereosinophilia and vasculitis, it can be presented with atypical manifestations as well.
