Churg–Strauss Syndrome (CSS) is a relatively rare entity characterized by asthma, transient pulmonary infiltrates, eosinophilia and systemic vasculitis. Oral ulceration is a possible clinical manifestation of some systemic vasculitides, such as Wegener's granulomatosis (WG) or giant cell arteritis, but has never been reported with Churg–Strauss syndrome. We report the first observation of a palatine ulceration in a 15‐year‐old girl with Churg–Strauss syndrome.
