Аннотация
BACKGROUND: Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) is a systemic necrotizing vasculitis characterized by necrosis, granulomatous inflammation, and vasculitis. It is characterized by the triad of the upper and lower respiratory system, lung, and kidney disease. Although it is usually a multisystemic disease, limited forms have also been described, and otolaryngological involvement is the first manifestation in up to 80-95% of the cases.
CASE PRESENTATION: In this report, we describe the case of an ANCA negative patient with a limited form of GPA that presented a necrotic lesion confined to the right tonsil compatible with granulomatosis with polyangiitis, which later presented positive ANCA antibodies. Oral lesions may be the initial manifestation of GPA, and systemic involvement can be presented within weeks or months. Although the oral manifestations have been well described, the initial presentation with oral lesions is very rare, and presentation with oropharyngeal manifestation is even rarer. This disease is generally characterized by anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA); however, there are rare cases with negative ANCA.
CONCLUSION: The diagnosis was established based on the clinical presentation and the histopathological findings of the characteristic inflammatory pattern.
