introduction: wegener granulomatosis is a rare multisystemic disease with an unknown cause, characterized by necrotic granulomatous lesions in respiratory tract, systemic vasculitis in small arteries and veins and necrotizing glomerulonephritis. wegener can affect any organ including kidneys, eyes or other organs but classically affects upper and lower respiratory tract. one of the rare but imp...

Wegener’s granulomatosis (WG) is an autoimmune disease, which particularly affects the upper respiratory pathways, lungs and kidney. Oral mucosal involvement presents in around 5%--10% of cases and may be the first disease symptom. Predominant manifestation is granulomatous gingivitis erythematous papules; mucosal necrosis and non-specific ulcers with or without impact on adjacent structures. C...

Relevance. Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (Wegener's granulomatosis) is a rare disease in which oral cavity symptoms manifest as 'strawberry' gingivitis. Description of the clinical case. The paper presents early systemic – granulomatosis manifestation gingival hyperplasia 1 patient, form so-called "strawberry gingivitis", another non-specific ulcer on mucous mem-brane soft palate.

Wegener's granulomatosis is a rare multi-system disease characterized by the classic triad of necrotizing granulomas affecting the upper and lower respiratory tracts, disseminated vasculitis and glomerulonephritis. Oral lesions as a presenting feature are only encountered in 2% of these cases. Hyperplastic gingival lesions or strawberry gingivitis, is a characteristic sign of Wegener's granulom...

Wegener's granulomatosis (WG) is an immunologically mediated inflammatory disease characterized by granulomatous vasculitis of the upper and lower aerodigestive tracts together with glomerulonephritis. We are reporting a rare case of gingival WG that presented with erythematous and painful generalized gingival enlargement. Correlation of histopathology with routine hematoxylin and eosin and spe...

BACKGROUND Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA), formerly referred to as Wegener's granulomatosis, is a rare systemic disease of unknown etiology which can affect all areas of the body, including the oral cavity. The typical oral manifestations occur as nonspecific erosive/ulcerative lesions of the oral cavity or appear with hyperplastic gingivitis, a so called "strawberry gingivitis". CASE...
