Abstract

Wegener's granulomatosis (WG) is a disease of unknown etiology, characterized by immune-mediated necrotizing vasculitis and presence of granulomas, commonly affecting the upper respiratory tract, lungs and kidneys. Although commonly involves lungs and kidneys, it can potentially affect any organ in the body including the urogenital tract (1,2). However, involvement of the uterine cervix is very rare in WG (3).
