ABSTRACT

Granulomatosis with polyangiitis is the most common vasculitis associated with anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies, although it has a low incidence and prevalence. The diagnosis is confirmed by serology and histopathology of the affected organ or system; its manifestations may be heterogeneous when possible. Without the correct treatment, your estimated survival is five months after diagnosis. Below, we report the case of a 50-year-old man who was hospitalized due to weight loss, chronic sinusitis, and lung injuries.
