Abstract
Wegener's granulomatosis (WG) is a rare disease in pediatric patients. The case of a 14-year-old girl with generalized WG is described and the pediatric literature reviewed. Thirty additional cases of WG in childhood have been traced in previous studies. Diagnostic problems are discussed in the context of clinical, radiological and biopsy findings.
