Wegener's granulomatosis: a case report and literature review
Abstract
Wegener's granulomatosis may present with a variety of findings and be difficult to diagnose. We report a case of 27-year-old man presenting with chronic cough and hemoptysis who was diagnosed by open lung biopsy to have Wegener's granulomatosis. Based on this case, we reviewed the clinical features, pathophysiology, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of Wegener's granulomatosis.
