Abstract: | Wegener granulomatosis is a disorder of unknown etiology characterized by a necrotizing granulomatous vasculitis that primarily affects the paranasal sinuses, lungs, and kidneys. It is usually a disease of adults with infrequent cardiac involvement. We report the unusual presentation of this disorder in an adolescent with a cardiac mass. The findings on two-dimensional echocardiography and MR imaging are discussed. |
