Limited form of Wegener's granulomatosis in ulcerative colitis.
The limited form of Wegener's granulomatosis is described as a complication in 2 cases of chronic ulcerative colitis. The coexistence of ulcerative colitis and the limited form of Wegener's granulomatosis raises the question of a common etiologic basis, possibly an immunologic defect.
