Introduction: Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) is described as a triad of lesions, consisting of necrotizing granuloma of the respiratory tract, small and medium-sized disseminated vasculitis and glomerulonephritis. It represents the most frequent of systemic vasculitis.Objective:Currently, there is a shortage of data related to the profile of these patients in the country, with their clinical and epidemiological manifestations. Thus, the case presented aims to contribute to possible other patients who are in the same situation through knowledge of this clinical manifestation and an attempt to approach the complications associated with the disease described.Case report:This report describes the oral involvement with the formation of a deep ulceration, leading to communication between the oral and nasal cavities. Conclusion:Given the above, we reinforce the importance of an early diagnosis, made by an interdisciplinary team, in order to institute appropriate therapy and provide the patient with a longer survival.
