Abstract

The first case of eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) simultaneously demonstrating various clinical manifestations, including retroperitoneal fibrosis (RPF) causing hydronephrosis and membranous nephropathy (MN) leading to nephrotic syndrome, is presented. There have been no previous case reports demonstrating the simultaneous onset of these three disease categories with significant complex pathologies. This case was successfully managed by providing adequate combination therapies according to each disease category, leading to complete remission (CR) of all three diseases. In conclusion, we believe this case is extremely rare and clinically suggestive, and that these findings can be applied to a future phenotype-tailored treatment strategy for EGPA.
