Abstract

Key Clinical MessageHere, we report a case of granulomatosis with polyangiitis presenting with unilateral parotid gland enlargement and later developed skin lesions on the lower extremities and abdomen. Although rare, salivary gland enlargement may be the presenting sign of Wegener's granulomatosis or other ANCA associated vasculitides.
