Summary A 63-year-old man presented with pulmonary infiltrates and maxillary sinusal opacities. Although necrotizing vasculitis and granulomatous inflammation were present in nasal mucosa, pulmonary biopsy revealed adenocarcinoma. Simultaneous appearance of granulomatosis in the maxillary sinus and necrotic lung nodule does not necessarily mean that the lung abnormalities are also granuloma. This case report suggests that differential diagnosis between Wegener's granulomatosis and lung carcinoma may be difficult.
