Pituitary dysfunction (PD) in granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) is a rare manifestation of the disease with an incidence of 2% and tends to occur as the disease progresses. On very rare occasions, PD can be the initial presentation of GPA. From our literature review, only 6 such cases were documented.
