Abstract
Wegener's granulomatosis may present with a variety of findings and be difficult to diagnose. We report a case of a 55-year-old woman presen ting with right middle lobe obstruction who was found to have limited Wegener's granulomatosis. Extensive medical evaluation was nondiagnost ic and open lung biopsy specimens were required to establish the diagn osis.
