High incidence of venous thromboembolism but not of coronary artery disease in granulomatosis with polyangiitis in first years after diagnosis.
Conclusions: Patients with granulomatosis with polyangiitis in first years after diagnosis have higher risk of venous thromboembolism than coronary artery disease. This finding is probably related to hypercoagulability induced by the disease and its therapy.

Strawberry gingivitis & #8211; First sign of Wegener & #39;s granulomatosis
Chandulal D Dhalkari, Sayali Chandrakant Patil, Maya S IndurkarJournal of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology 2020 24(1):172-175
Wegener's Granulomatosis (WG) is an immunologically mediated rare multisystem disease characterized by necrotizing granulomatous inflammation affecting the upper and lower respiratory tracts, disseminated vasculitis and glomerulonephritis. WG oral lesions are reported to occur in 6%–13% of patients; they were an initial presenting feature in only 2% of cases. A case of strawberry gingivitis as the first sign of WG presented with erythematous ...

[Atypical purpuric oedema of the nose during granulomatosis with polyangiitis].
We report the case of a 47-year-old woman presenting purpuric oedematous plaque with bullous detachment of the nose and hospitalised for the assessment of two suspicious neoplastic lung lesions discovered as a result of a recent stroke and repeated seromucosal otitis. Granulomatosis with polyangeitis was suspected because of multiple systemic lesions. The histopathology of skin lesions and laboratory investigation results were consistent with this diagnosis. A favourable outcome was achieved with corticosteroids and rituximab.
DISCUSSION: The diagnosis of GPA is based on criteria established by the American College...

Oral manifestation of wegener granulomatosis: case report
An 86-year-old man was evaluated complaining a painful lesion situated in the tongue with 45-day duration. Medical history revealed anemia, heart disease, vasculitis, and glomerulitis associated with the previous diagnosis of Wegener granulomatosis. Positive reaction for antineutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibodies (ANCA) was reported. Intraoral examination revealed an asymptomatic ulceration on the dorsum of the tongue surrounded by a whitish area that measures its 2.0 × 1.0 cm in its largest diameters.

Differential diagnosis and management of a patient with paracoccidioidomycosis
Paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) is a systemic mycosis whose etiologic agent is the thermodimorphic fungus of the genus Paracoccidioides. Differential diagnosis may include oral squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), tuberculosis, histoplasmosis, and Wegener granulomatosis. A 45-year-old male patient was attended in an oral medicine service with complaint of "infection of the tongue." Intraoral examination found deep ulcer of granulomatous bed with raised edges and hard palpation in the lateral tongue and mouth floor with 2 months of evolution.

A 60-year-old with heart failure symptoms due to 1st degree AV-Block caused by granulomatosis with polyangiitis (Wegener’s granulomatosis)
Publication date: Available online 4 December 2019Source: Journal of Cardiology CasesAuthor(s): Davit Saghabalyan, Dirk Schiller, Sven LerchAbstractGranulomatosis with polyangiitis is a rare systemic inflammatory disorder mainly affecting the small vessels. Cardiac involvement is rare, conduction delay being the most rare one. This case reports on a middle-aged male patient with heart failure symptoms due to a 1st degree atrioventricular block with a marked PR prolongation of 480 ms on electrocardiography (ECG). Because of heart failure symptoms as well as elevated N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide and no othe...

Strawberry gingivitis: Challenges in the diagnosis of granulomatosis with polyangiitis on gingival specimens
This article highlights the challenges to early-stage diagnosis of initial multiple gingival enlargements because histologic biopsies are often nonspecific and histology alone may not be sufficient to make a correct diagnosis of GPA from gingival specimens. Because strawberry gingivitis may be the first manifestation of GPA, awareness of it should be increased so that it can be diagnosed by its unique clinical appearance and additional related diagnostic parameters even if the histologic gingival findings are nonspecific.
