“…A direct damage of the glandular parenchyma by the granulomatous vasculitis this specific endocrine involvement of GPA was reported for the first time by Thomas GO and Lewis RJ in 1979 on the autopsy findings of a man who died after an adrenal haemorrhagic infarction complicating an active GPA. Granulomatous angiitis was objectified in adrenal and thyroid glands [15]. Since then, only a few sporadic cases confirmed histologically were reported.…”

Endocrine involvement during the course of GPA is exceptional, and only a few sporadic observations were reported. Thus the exact meaning of endocrinopathies associated with this vasculitis is not yet well known. Fortuitous association or specific localization of vasculitis in the endocrine glands? The purpose of this minireview is to study the endocrine involvement in granulomatosis with polyangeiitis and to discuss its possible pathogenic mechanisms.

“…Adrenal gland involvement with adrenal granulomatous vasculitis during systemic GPA (associated with pulmonary and renal involvement) which has evolved favorably after systemic corticosteroids and cyclophosphamide [14]. Similarly, a fatal adrenal localization of GPA was reported by Thomas GO et al [15].…”

Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA), previously known as Wegener's granulomatosis, is a pulmonary-renal syndrome affecting small and medium sized blood vessels. The disease has a prevalence in studies ranging from 3 to 15.7 cases per 100,000, with a noted increasing incidence and prevalence in more recent studies. Pulmonary manifestations include hemorrhage, lung cavitary lesions, and pulmonary fibrosis. Within the kidney, GPA is known to cause rapidly progressive pauci-immune crescentic glomerulonephritis. Rare and severe cardiovascular manifestations include pericarditis, arrhythmias, myocarditis, and aortic valve disease. Our patient is a 43-year-old female with typical pulmonary and renal lesions from GPA and also acute myocarditis, multiple episodes of ventricular tachycardia, and a severe reactive thrombocytosis.
