An unusual presentation of eosinophilic angiocentric fibrosis

Abstract
Eosinophilic angiocentric fibrosis (EAF) is a rare, benign condition affecting the respiratory mucosa and is generally characterized by a locally destructive growth. We present a case of a lady with a saddle nose deformity that had for many years been treated as granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA), of which saddle nose deformity is a classic feature. At the time of surgery, she was found to have subglottic stenosis another classic feature of GPA, however, histology demonstrated EAF. We discuss the difference between the two conditions and highlight the importance of making the correct diagnosis.
