This is a follow-up to the case below of the 64 y/o man with dense pulmonary infiltrates.
Cultures were all negative. His ANCA was positive with an atypical pattern. A mediastinoscopy revealed large benign nodes with sinus histiocytosis with no diagnostic evidence of metastatic carcinoma, granulomata, or lymphoma.
His VATS lung Bx revealed necrotizing vasculitis and fibrosis most consistent with Wegener's granulomatosis (the Bx slides were sent out for a second opinion and were reviewed by Dr. Katzenstein).
How would you treat him?
