Wegener's granulomatosis mimicking lung tumor

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.
