Abstract

Wegener’s granulomatosis (WG) is a systemic autoimmune disorder characterised by necrotic and granulomatous vasculitic involvement of mainly the lungs and kidneys. Pulmonary involvement is observed in 90% of the cases. Rarely, it can be misdiagnosed as a neoplasm. In this report, we present a 35 year old patient with hemoptysis who was radiologically misdiagnosed as having lung cancer and was later diagnosed as having WG.

Özet

Wegener granülomatozu (WG), temelde akciğer ve böbrek başta olmak üzere birçok sistemi tutabilen ve dokularda nekrotizan granülomatöz vaskülit ile karakterize, otoimmün, granülomatöz bir hastalıktır. Akciğer tutulumu olguların % 90’ında görülür. Akciğerdeki lezyonlar bazen yanlışlıkla tümör tümörü tanısı alabilir. Biz burada 35 yaşında hemoptizi nedeniyle başvuran ve radyolojik görüntü itibariyle akciğer tümörü düşünülen ve daha sonra WG tanısı konulan hastayı sunduk.
