  • Title: [Wegener's granulomatosis with splenic involvement and Hashimoto's lymphomatous thyroiditis].
    Author: Armbruster C, Vetter N.
    Journal: Pneumologie; 1991 Jan; 45(1):28-31. PubMed ID: 2034602.
    Abstract:
    A case of a 37-year old female patient suffering from Wegener's granulomatosis is reported. The chest x-ray showed a tumorous consolidation of the right upper lobe and of the apical segment of the right lower lobe. The histological examination of the lung, the kidney and the spleen revealed necrotising granulomas typical of Wegener's granulomatosis. Additionally, a thyroiditis lymphomatosa Hashimoto was diagnosed. So far, coincidence of thyroiditis Hashimoto and Wegener's granulomatosis has not been reported in the literature. The involvement of the spleen was a rare manifestation of Wegener's granulomatosis.
