Abstract
- Wegener's granulomatosis was first described by Wegener in 1936 as a vasculitis and necrotizing granuloma of the upper or lower respiratory tract. It is largely classified into a generalized necrotizing granuloma and a focal necrotizing granuloma. As a localized form of the disease, the respiratory tract is known to be involved frequently; however, the paranasal sinus is a less frequent site of involvement than other organs. In Korea, there has been no reports of Wegener's granulomatosis in the last ten years, and reports of localized form is extremely rare. We are reporting here a case of Wegener's granulomatosis in the maxillary sinus with literature review.
