  • Title: [A case report of the limited form Wegener's granulomatosis].
    Author: Kim YC, Taniguchi T, Kawarazaki S, Takasu K.
    Journal: Nihon Kyobu Shikkan Gakkai Zasshi; 1991 Aug; 29(8):1083-7. PubMed ID: 1753528.
    Abstract:
    The classical from of Wegener's granulomatosis (WG) is a necrotizing granulomatous angiitis that involves the upper and lower airways, and kidneys. A limited form of WG is characterized by pulmonary lesions identical to those of classical form WG without renal involvement. The authors report a case of limited form WG. A 58-year-old Japanese woman was admitted because of an abnormal pulmonary shadow. Pathological examination revealed granulomatous angiitis consistent with WG. No other organ involvement was found. The pulmonary shadow improved with cyclophosphamide therapy. The patient is now well and without evidence of exacerbation of the disease 18 month after the discharge.
