ABSTRACT

It presents a patient who comes to Otorhinolaryngology Consultation with abundant nasal and secretions and fetids, nasal obstruction, increased volume of the nose with tumor appearance and pain of one year of evolution; a previous biopsy only showed necrosis. Treatment was imposed but it did not improve. Presented a greater nasal obstruction and a new nasal mucosa biopsy was performed; it was diagnosed as a Wegener's granulomatosis. The interesting thing about the case lies in the difficulty in making the diagnosis because clinically it simulated a tumor and in the biopsies the necrosis predominated, with only a few areas of granulomas.
