Pulmonary signs are common in Wegener's granulomatosis (WG). However, an initial presentation including pleural effusion has not been described. We describe a case of WG in which pleural effusion was the first clinical manifestation. A 45-year-old man with dorsal pain presented with pleural thickening and effusion, and a visible nodule on a thoracic scan. A dense chronic inflammatory infiltrate...

wegener's granulomatosis is an uncommon inflammatory disease that manifests as vasculitis, granulomatosis, and necrosis. it usually involves the upper and lower respiratory tracts and kidneys. although it may essentially involve any organ, gastrointestinal (gi) involvement is notably uncommon. a 20-year-old male patient presented with epigastric pain, vomiting, hematemesis, and melena. on physi...

Wegener granulomatosis (WG), the most common of the pulmonary granulomatous vasculitides, typically involves the upper respiratory tract, lower respiratory tract (bronchi and lung), and kidney, with varying degrees of disseminated vasculitis. THE TERM GRANULOMATOSIS WITH POLYANGIITIS (WEGENER) WAS RECENTLY PROPOSED TO REPLACE THE OLDER TERM, WG. THE TERM GRANULOMATOSIS WITH POLYANGIITIS CAN BE ...
