An unusual case of Churg-Strauss syndrome and a shrinking renal mass.
Churg-Strauss syndrome is a multisystem disorder characterized by allergic rhinitis, asthma and eosinophilia [Churg and Strauss 1951, Noth et al. 2003]. We report a case of Churg-Strauss syndrome associated with a complex renal mass, which resolved with immunosuppressive therapy.
