title: Wegener's granulomatosis. A distinct gingival lesion.
abstract: A hyperplastic (strawberry) gingivitis is a feature of Wegener's granulomatosis. A further case is described in which the only manifestations to date have been the gingival lesion. The diagnostic value of the ANCA test is discussed for patients who present with an unusual hyperplastic gingivitis.
