Wegener's granulomatosis is a systemic vasculitis characterized by necrotizing granulomatous lesions mostly involving the upper and lower respiratory tract. The disease rarely causes parotid gland involvement and pneumothorax. We report a case of Wegener's granulomatosis involving parotid gland, and complicated with a pneumothorax.
