[Wegener's granulomatosis with adrenal gland involvement].
A case of Wegener's granulomatosis in a female with characteristic three organ involvement (upper airway, lung, kidneys) is presented. The changes were also seen in the suprarenal glands. This merits attention due to the fact that such a localization was never previously published. Diagnostic problems were caused by pulmonary changes imitating lung metastasis. The patient was treated three years with prednisolone and cyclophosphamide. Complete remission was seen in the lungs and kidneys, and regression of the left suprarenal involvement was observed.
