The predominant clinical presentations are confined to the pumonary system, however ; extra-pumonary manifestations can sometimes be the main feature of the dieseses. METHOD: here we report a 65 year old female, with a skin vulvar lesion, and another in cerebelus, without pulmonary diesese. CONCLUSION: the LG can mimics systemic vasculits and is a diagnostic challenge.
