Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) is a small-vessel vasculitis consisting of necrotizing granulomatous lesions in airways and focal necrotizing glomerulonephritis. However, it may affect other sites such as the skin, central nervous system, eyes, heart, gastrointestinal tract, and liver. We describe a rare case of GPA in which the initial manifestation was the involvement of the parotid gland mimicking a pyogenic abscess.
肉芽肿性多血管炎(GPA)是一种小血管炎,由气道中的坏死性肉芽肿性病变和局灶性坏死性肾小球肾炎组成。然而,它可能会影响其他部位,如皮肤、中枢神经系统、眼睛、心脏、胃肠道和肝脏。我们描述了一例罕见的GPA病例,其最初表现为腮腺受累,酷似化脓性脓肿。
