  • Title: Wegener's presenting as submandibular swelling.
    Author: Singh S, Kaura D, Kumari S, Gupta D, Dey P, Suri S.
    Journal: Sarcoidosis Vasc Diffuse Lung Dis; 1997 Mar; 14(1):81-2. PubMed ID: 9186994.
    Abstract:
    We describe a patient in whom bilateral swelling of submandibular glands was the initial manifestation of limited Wegener's disease. The diagnosis was based on positive anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody [C-ANCA], dense inflammatory infiltrate predominantly of lymphocytes in submandibular glands, presence of non-caseating ill-formed granulomas in transbronchial biopsy and resolution of symptoms following immuno-suppressive treatment.
