| description | Lung damage, along with the pathology of the upper respiratory tract and kidneys, constitute the classic triad of Wegener's granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA). The special features of pulmonary pathology in this disease include the possibility of asymptomatic course. A case of asymptomatic lung damage in a patient with GPA has been reported. Despite clear signs of drug-induced clinical and laboratory remission, routine computed tomography (CT) revealed progressive changes in lung parenchyma as multiple foci with destruction, which regressed after treatment with cyclophosphamide. The importance of instrumental examination, including CT of the chest at the onset of GPA and during the subsequent follow-up, was emphasized. |
