A Granulomatose de Wegener é uma doença sistémica de etiologia desconhecida, caracterizada pela tríade clínica: envolvimento da mucosa nasal e dos seios perinasais, infiltração e cavitação pulmonar e doença renal com hematúria. A Granulomatose de Wegener afecta normalmente adultos jovens e de meia idade e embora seja incomum nas crianças, pode surgir em qualquer estrato etário.
Apresentamos o caso clínico de uma adolescente de 14 anos, com sintomas de epistaxis, cuja investigação posterior mostrou insuficiência renal e múltiplos nódulos pulmonares. O teste positivo para o anticorpo antineutrofílico citoplasmático suportou o diagnóstico de Granulomatose de Wegener, necessitando de terapêutica com hemodiálise e imunossupressão.
