title: [Onset of Wegener's granulomatosis with skin and joint symptoms].
abstract: A 54-year-old female presenting with arthralgias, weight loss, and anemia developed Raynaud's phenomenon and subcutaneous nodules at her hands. Granulomatous inflammation was observed in biopsies taken from her hands and sinuses, and later on the patient suffered from glomerulonephritis. The diagnosis Wegener's granulomatosis was further supported by detection of anticytoplasmic antibodies.
