Brief Review
Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) was confirmed through surgical wedge resection. Five months after diagnosis, the patient complained of left eye swelling. An orbital MRI revealed an enhancing infiltrative lesion in the left orbital apex fat and diffuse mucoepithelial thickening with heterogeneous enhancement in bilateral paranasal sinuses. Surgical biopsy confirmed GPA involvement.


Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA), formerly known as Wegener granulomatosis, is an antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)
