Wegener's Granulomatosis in the Chest: High-Resolution CT Findings

¹ All authors: Imaging Institute, Cleveland Clinic, 9500 Euclid Ave., Hb6, Cleveland, OH 44195.

OBJECTIVE. Wegener's granulomatosis is an uncommon necrotizing vasculitis having variable presentations in the chest that are best depicted on high-resolution CT. Imaging findings may include nodules, which may cavitate; ground-glass opacity secondary to pulmonary hemorrhage; and airway stenoses and ulcerations. Active Wegener's granulomatosis can mimic pneumonia, septic emboli, and metastases.

CONCLUSION. This article will illustrate the high-resolution CT findings of Wegener's granulomatosis in the chest.

Keywords: high-resolution CT • vasculitis • Wegener's granulomatosis
