Two cases of Wegener's granulomatosis are presented. The first case due to improper diagnosis died five months following initial clinical symptoms. The second case was diagnosed basing on clinical findings. Cyclophosphamide produced a quick and full remission. Both cases illustrate the need of proper diagnosis and introduction of treatment.

A 38-year-old man was in a state of poor oral hygiene, with multiple broken carious teeth and diffuse inflammatory hyperplasia of the gingival tissues. A mandibular, alveolar soft tissue mass in the premolar-molar region was noted on the right side, in continuity with the gingival hyperplasia. Biopsy of the lesion ruled out a diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma. The patient underwent extraction of his teeth, and all hyperplastic tissues including the tumefaction were excised. Five months later, the patient had a recurrent mass in the same location that was removed via hemimandibulectomy. The mass was diagnosed as a parosteal osteogenic sarcoma.
