“…WG has been reported to present with diverse clinical signs including ulceration of the breast, pleural effusion, pituitary disease and as a Horners syndrome [5-8]. Although the detection of antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) can be useful in these particular cases the results should be interpreted with caution.…”

BackgroundA seventy nine year old lady presented with acute bilateral foot drop and paraesthesia of her lower limbs as a presenting feature of Wegener's Granulomatosis (WG).Case presentationThere was no evidence of pulmonary involvement and her renal function was normal. WG can masquerade as very diverse pathology. It is recognised that neuropathy can occur early and often in the absence of more classical pulmonary and renal findings, often resulting in a delay in diagnosis.ConclusionAnti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) testing was particularly useful in this case permitting early diagnosis.

A 60-year-old woman presented with a painless self-detected breast lump. After wide local excision, the histology of this radiologically suspicious lump turned out to be an inflammatory lesion with granulomatous foci, suggesting a diagnosis of granulomatous mastitis. Prior to the excision biopsy, this woman had suffered from and been treated for anterior uveitis, secretory otitis media, and proximal myopathy. Four weeks later, a skin biopsy of a rapidly developing widespread petechial rash, mainly affecting the lower limbs, confirmed the diagnosis as Wegener's granulomatosis. Treatment with intravenous steroids and later cyclophosphamide produced rapid remission.
