WEGENER S GRANULOMATOSIS: A REVIEW OF THREE CASES FISHER JHCan Med Assoc J 1964[Jan]; 90 (1): 10-4Clinical and autopsy features in three cases of Wegener's granulomatosis are presented. The disease is characterized by the triad of necrotizing granulomatous lesions of the respiratory tract, segmental necrotizing angiitis of arteries and veins, and necrotizing glomerulitis commonly terminating in uremia. Correct antemortem diagnosis was made in two of the three cases-in one by recognition of the characteristic triad and in the other by a biopsy from the antrum. Pathological lesions were chiefly in respiratory tract, spleen, kidneys and blood vessels. Necrotizing granulomatous lesions were present in the lungs. Glomerular lesions were particularly severe and wide-spread in two of the three patients, leading to uremia. Trabeculitis of the spleen, an unusual lesion, was a noticeable feature in all three. Fibrinoid necrosis, with little or no inflammatory infiltration, was the prevailing type of vascular necrosis. The characteristics of the disease process suggest a hypersensitivity mechanism. Similarities to, but significant differences from, polyarteritis nodosa are recognized.|*Autopsy[MESH]|*Biopsy[MESH]|*Glomerulonephritis[MESH]|*Granuloma[MESH]|*Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis[MESH]|*Kidney[MESH]|*Lung[MESH]|*Necrosis[MESH]|*Pathology[MESH]|*Polyarteritis Nodosa[MESH]|*Radiography, Thoracic[MESH]|*Spleen[MESH]|*Vasculitis[MESH]|Humans[MESH] |
