Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis - A case report
Journal Title: International Archives of Integrated Medicine - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 6
Abstract
Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis (GPA) is a rare multisystem autoimmune disease. It is characterized histopathologically by necrotizing granulomatous vasculitis. The classical clinical triad consists of upper airway involvement (characterized by sinusitis, otitis, nasal mucosa ulcers, bone deformities, and subglottic stenosis), lower respiratory tract involvement (cough, chest pain, hemoptysis) and glomerulonephritis. We reported here a case of Wegener’s granulomatosis presenting as a thick walled cavity.
