Abstrakt: Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) is a rare heterogeneous disease in which treatment must be initiated early to prevent irreversible organ damage and death. There are several diseases that can mimic AAV, even in the presence of positive ANCA serology and/or histological evidence of vasculitis, as demonstrated in this case series. We reflect on the diagnostic approach of patients with AAV and provide an overview of AAV-mimicking diseases that can be considered in patients with atypical disease presentation or course.
