Bronchocentric granulomatosis is a recently defined entity within the "pulmonary angitis and granulomatosis" group of lung diseases. Unlike the other granulomatoses, extrapulmonary disease has not been encountered with bronchocentric granulomatosis. Therefore, we report a case demonstrating apparent association with scleritis, an uncommon eye disorder often accompanying underlying systemic disease. This introduces a potential source of diagnostic confusion with Wegener's granulomatosis, which can resemble bronchocentric granulomatosis clinically and radiographically, and which has a known association with scleritis.
支气管中心性肉芽肿病是“肺血管炎和肉芽肿病”组肺部疾病中最近定义的一种疾病。与其他肉芽肿病不同,支气管中心性肉芽肿病未出现肺外疾病。因此,我们报告一例病例,该病例显示与巩膜炎明显相关,巩膜炎是一种罕见的眼部疾病,常伴有潜在的全身性疾病。这引入了与韦格纳肉芽肿病诊断混淆的潜在来源,韦格纳肉芽肿病在临床和影像学上可能类似于支气管中心性肉芽肿病,且已知与巩膜炎有关。
