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