Wegener's granulomatosis with polyangiitis presenting as a soft tissuemass and osteomyelitis: A case report %K Antineutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibodies %K Osteomyelitis %K vasculitis %K Wegener’s Granulomatosis %R %X Wegener’s granulomatosis (WG) is a life-threatening and rare systemic vasculitis associated with anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies and granulomatous lesions. The disease is primarily associated with pulmonary and renal involvement. Diagnosing this disease is a challenging task because of the lack of specific histological findings and its numerous manifestations. Although WG may affect any organ, the lung is most frequently affected. Herein, we report a case of a granuloma mass in the soft tissue of the leg and chronic ulcer around the talus with fistula to the bone similar to chronic inflammatory osteomyelitis. %U https://www.rheumres.org/article_151777_0b73c54bc23fe69bb7d3e0cf190290d7.pdf
