Fatal facial ulceration

R H Bull et al. Clin Exp Dermatol. 1993 Jul.

Abstract

A case of an elderly man with a large facial ulcer is reported. The diagnosis of Wegener's granulomatosis was made at post-mortem when evidence of a granulomatous vasculitis was found in both the skin and lungs. This case serves to illustrate the difficulty in making the diagnosis of Wegener's granulomatosis, especially when it presents in its 'limited' form.
