Abstract
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.
