Overview

Pathogenesis

The pathogenesis of Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis is not fully understood. Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis [4] is a medium and small vessel autoimmune vasculitis, leading to necrosis. It involves mainly the blood vessels of the lungs (it begins as a severe type of asthma), gastrointestinal system, and peripheral nerves, but also affects the heart, skin, and kidneys.

Genetics

Associated Conditions

The following conditions are associated with Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis:[4][5][6][7]

Gross Pathology

On gross pathology, the following changes are seen in patients with eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis include:[8]

  • Nodular swellings that appears along the small arteries of various organs
    • Heart, liver, kidney, GI tract, and spleen.
  • Infarcts, hemorrhage and scarring of affected organs
  • Pulmonary artery occlusion and thrombus formation.
  • Patchy consolidations of the lung.
  • Ventricular hypertrophy, myocardial scariing.

Microscopic Pathology

On microscopic examination, following findings can be seen in eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis, include:[9][10]

Necrotizing and granulomatous arteritis in the lung of a patient with Churg-Strauss syndrome.
