Wegener's granulomatosis: description of a case with oral manifestation.

Wegener's granulomatosis is a multisystemic granulomatous vasculitis that predominantly affects the airways and the kidneys, but may affect any organ. Otorhinolaryngological manifestations may be oral ulcers, gingival swelling or septal perforations that can cause saddle nose deformities, rhinitis, sinusitis and hearing loss. The oral ulcers usually occur when the disease is advanced.

Several histopathological modalities of tumours can grow in the rhinopharynx. Solitary extramedullary plasmocytoma (SEP) is a low frequent variety of low-grade lymphoma. The aim of this work is to present a new case of SEP localized in rhinopharynx and to perform a review of diagnostic and therapeutic protocols of these neoplasias.
