Description
Summary:	Wegener's granulomatosis is a necrotising granulomatous vasculitis which has a variable manifestations in the chest that are best described on computed tomography. Imaging findings may include masses or nodules, which may cavitate; consolidations and ground-glass opacities. Wegener's granulomatosis can mimic pneumonia, malignancy, and noninfectious inflammatory diseases. The purpose of this pictorial essay is to demonstrate the characteristic computed tomography findings of pulmonary Wegener's granulomatosis.
