Wegener's granulomatosis presenting as right middle lobe obstruction.
Wegener's granulomatosis may present with a variety of findings and be difficult to diagnose. We report a case of a 55-year-old woman presenting with right middle lobe obstruction who was found to have limited Wegener's granulomatosis. Extensive medical evaluation was nondiagnostic and open lung biopsy specimens were required to establish the diagnosis.
