Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) is a multisystem vasculitic disorder that predominantly affects medium- and small-sized blood vessels. EGPA belongs to a group of vasculitides known as anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody- (ANCA-) associated vasculitis (AAV). Upper airway involvement is seen in all ANCA-associated vasculitides, but destructive upper airway disease has never been reported in patients with EGPA. We report the first case of erosive chondritis and saddle nose deformity in a 50-year-old patient suffering from EGPA.
嗜酸性肉芽肿性多血管炎(EGPA)是一种多系统血管炎疾病,主要累及中、小血管。EGPA属于一组被称为抗中性粒细胞胞浆抗体(ANCA)相关性血管炎(AAV)的血管炎。上呼吸道受累在所有ANCA相关性血管炎中均可见,但EGPA患者从未有过破坏性上呼吸道疾病的报道。我们报告了首例患有EGPA的50岁患者出现糜烂性软骨炎和鞍鼻畸形的病例。
