Wegener's granulomatosis (WG) is a systemic granulomatous vasculitis affecting medium and small arteries, venules, and arterioles. The upper and lower respiratory tract and kidney are primarily involved. Patients with classic WG essentially present with upper airway and pulmonary involvement. Renal disease is common. Involvement of other organ systems is also relatively frequent, most often heart, joints, muscles, eyes, skin, and central and/or peripheral nervous system. We present a patient in whom WG was diagnosed primarily because of prostate involvement. This seems to be a rare manifestation.
韦格纳肉芽肿病（WG）是一种累及中小动脉、小静脉和微动脉的系统性肉芽肿性血管炎。主要累及上、下呼吸道和肾脏。典型的WG患者主要表现为上呼吸道和肺部受累。肾脏疾病很常见。其他器官系统受累也相对频繁，最常见的是心脏、关节、肌肉、眼睛、皮肤以及中枢和/或周围神经系统。我们报告一名主要因前列腺受累而诊断为WG的患者。这似乎是一种罕见的表现。
