Abstract
|
|
|
Wegener¡¯s granulomatosis was first described by Wegener in 1936 as a vasculitis and necrotizing granuloma of the upper of lower respiratory tract. It is largely classified into a generalized necrotizing granuloma and a focal necrotizing granuloma. As a localized from 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.
