Abstract
A clinical analysis of a patient with undifferentiated granulomatous systemic vasculitis with a predominant lung lesion and its complication in the form of chronic hypertrophic convexital pachymeningitis of fungal (candidal) etiology is presented. A differential diagnosis with granulomatosis with polyangiitis was carried out. Modern literature data on diagnostic criteria and methods of treatment of this rare pathology are given.
