“…Azar et al, 7 studying urogenital manifestations of polyarteritis nodosa and Churg-Strauss angiitis, identified 2 cases of ureteral stenosis. Similarly, Cortellini et al 6 reported CS syndrome in a 22-year-old man who presented asthma, hypereosinophilia, subcutaneous nodules in the lower limbs, vomiting, lumbar pain, and increased urinary frequency. Laboratory tests showed a leukocytosis with hypereosinophilia and high erythrocyte sedimentation rate.…”

Vasculitic syndromes are a group of disorders characterized by inflammation of the blood vessels. They include polyarteritis nodosa (PAN), Churg-Strauss syndrome (CS), and Wegener granulomatosis (WG) that differ on type, size, and location of the involved vessels. We report a rare case of granulomatous vasculitis leading to ureteral stenosis in the absence of other systemic manifestations of the disease. The patient was a 56-year-old woman who began to complain of left lumbar pain, nocturia, and dysuria. Computed tomography scan demonstrated a large abdominal mass with ureteral compression. A tissue specimen obtained by laparotomy revealed the presence of a chronic inflammatory process with fibrosis, granulomatous reaction, extravascular eosinophilia, and prominent vasculitis. She was put on corticosteroids and azathioprine with a decrease of the tumoral mass. This incompletely classified vasculitis was an unexpected cause of the abdominal mass.

“…Urological manifestation of EGPA may also concern ureteric obstruction secondary to calcification and stenosis [58,59], bilateral ureteral stenosis with anuria [60], ulceration of the mid-penile urethra [61], and funiculitis [62], but only a few case reports are available in the literature.…”

Background: Vasculitides are specific inflammations of the blood vessel wall that can take place in any organ system of the human body. They may occur as a primary process (primary systemic vasculitides, PSV) or may be secondary to another underlying disease. In general, in association with the specific type of vasculitis, affected vessels vary in size, type, and location. In the following scoping review, we present clinical characteristics and manifestations of PSV with reference to the genitourinary system. Materials and methods: A non-systematic search of the relevant literature was conducted using three electronic databases (PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science) up to 29 October 2021. Results: Urogenital manifestations of PSV are infrequent, with the most commonly reported findings as prostatic or testicular involvements. However, almost all other organs of the genitourinary system can be affected. Conclusions: Because of the clinical heterogeneity and non-specific symptoms, the proper diagnosis of PSV is often delayed and constricted. Fast identification of urological manifestations of vasculitides is essential in implementing appropriate therapy and avoiding unnecessary, harmful, and invasive surgery.
