Cover Story: Facing the frequent clinical question of the differential diagnosis of intrathoracic lesions can still be difficult. The achievement of a tissue-biopsy-based diagnosis is the most important starting point. The biopsy must be interpreted in the context of the entire complexity of symptoms and paraclinical features of a patient, requiring a dialogue between different experts. Although the first insight into the presenting case could suggest malignancy, the surgical biopsy unexpectedly showed changes that suggested granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA). Additional renal biopsy, performed due to abnormal biochemical parameters indicating a possible kidney affection, was consistent with pauci-immune ANCA-associated glomerulonephritis. The case illustrates a model of the multidisciplinary approach to establish the undisputable diagnosis and initiate the relevant treatment without delay. View this paper.
