Abstract

Wegener granulomatosis is a vasculitis of small arter- ies, primarily causing diseases of lung, kidneys and lower respiratory system. About 50 to 90 % of cases present with pulmonary involvement, sometimes with a nodule (single or multiple) or mass lesion. Lung lesions may range between 30 to 70 mm in size. These lesions can be evaluated false in the initial diagnosis and the main diseases such as lung cancer may be overlooked. A 28-year-old woman complain- ing of left-sided chest pain, shortness of breath with no history of smoking presented with a quite large and partly spiculated contours mass lesion of 92x103 mm in size on the left side of the lung on computed tomography, mimicking primarily lung cancer. In this case, we discuss the challenges we faced in the stage of diagnosis to emphasize that lung involvement of Wegener granulomatosis should be recognized in the diagnosis

Özet

Wegener granülomatozu primer olarak, akciğer, böbrek ve alt solunum yollarında hastalık yapan, küçük arterleri tutan bir vaskülit tipidir. Olgula- rın %50-90'nında akciğer tutulumu görülmektedir. Akciğer tutulumu nodül ya da kitle lezyon olarak kendini gösterebilmektedir. Lezyonlar yaklaşık 30-70 mm büyüklüğünde olabilmektedir. Tanı aşamasında özellikle kitle lezyonlar yanlış değerlendirilip başta akciğer kanseri olmak üzere gerçek hastalık gözden kaçabilmektedir. Yirmi sekiz yaşında ön planda nefes darlığı, solda göğüs ağrısı şikâyeti olan bayan hasta- nın sigara ve başka hastalık öyküsü yoktu. Akciğer tomografisinde solda 92x103 mm ebadında, kenar- ları kısmen spiküler kitlesi olan ve ön tanıda akciğer kanserini düşündüren bir wegener granülomatozu olgusunu ve tanı koyma aşamasında karşılaştığımız güçlükleri tartıştık. Wegener granülomatozu akciğer tutulumunda tanı aşamasında dikkatli olunması ge- rektiğini vurgulamak istedik
