Abstract

We report a case of Churg-Strauss syndrome complaining of gross hematuria. A 74-year-old man was admitted to our hospital for further examination of gross hematuria. Abdominal CT and retrograde pyelography revealed left renal pelvic tumor, and left nephrectomy was performed. There was no tumor, but submucous hemorrhage was seen in the renal pelvis. The histopathologic diagnosis was allergic granulomatous angitis. The administration of prednisolone was done, but he suddenly died of acute heart failure after 1 month postoperatively.
