Abstract

Current classification criteria function poorly in diagnosing Wegener's granulomatosis (WG). In this study, we presented a patient with sinonasal symptoms, hematuria, and proteinuria, who had been misdiagnosed as a patient suffering from WG, but finally turned out to be a patient suffering from non-Hodgkin's T cell lymphoma. Diagnostic approach of WG was also discussed.
