We report a 21-year-old male patient with fatigue, dry cough, and progressive dyspnea. He had no history of asthma or eosinophilia. Thorax computed tomography showed bullous/cystic areas with thin walls in varying sizes (5-15 mm). Histopathological examination of the open lung biopsy revealed granulomatous infiltration with histiocytes and eosinophilic leukocytes. This extremely rare variant of CSS is discussed.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessasthmaChurg-Strauss syndromeeosinophiliaAllergic granulomatosis and angiitis in the absence of asthma and blood eosinophilia: a rare presentation of limited Churg-Strauss syndromeArticle2453013041462815210.1007/s00296-003-0412-22-s2.0-4644289538Q2WOS:000224096900011Q3
