Abstract

We describe a patient with protracted superficial Wegener's granulomatosis. On the basis of nasal mucosa and conjunctival biopsy specimens, a diagnosis of sarcoidosis was originally made. However, later biopsy specimens and the clinical condition indicated a rare variant of Wegener's granulomatosis, one with a protracted course of granulomatous ulcers localized to the skin and mucosa.
