Typical renal involvement of antineutrophilic cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) is pauci-immune glomerulonephritis that presents clinically as rapidly progressive renal failure (RPRF). Here, we report an unusual presentation of myeloperoxidase (MPO)-specific ANCA with isolated involvement of the tubulointerstitium in the form of peritubular capillaritis as the sole lesion without any involvement of the glomerulus. A 52-year-old woman with no previous comorbidities presented with nonspecific symptoms such as fatigue, dysuria, and nausea for two months.
