IgG4-related dacryoadenitis and sialoadenitis (IgG4-DS), so-called Mikulicz's disease, is characterized by elevated serum IgG4 and infiltration of IgG4-positive plasma cells in glandular tissues. Recently, several studies reported both malignant lymphoma developed on the background of IgG4-associated conditions and IgG4-producing malignant lymphoma (non-IgG4-related disease).
We report on the case of a 70-year-old man who was strongly suspected IgG4-DS because of high serum IgG4 concentration (215 mg/dl) and bilateral swelling of parotid and submandibular glands. Biopsies of cervical lymph node and a portion of submandibular gland were performed. These histopathological findings subsequently confirmed a diagnosis of marginal zone B cell lymphoma.
Differential diagnosis of IgG4-DS is necessary from other disorders, including Sjögren's syndrome, sarcoidosis, Castleman's disease, Wegener's granulomatosis, lymphoma, and cancer. We suggest that biopsy of swollen lesions is important for a definitive diagnosis of IgG4-DS and discuss the mechanism of development in this case.
IgG4相关性泪腺炎和涎腺炎(IgG4-DS),即所谓的米库利奇病,其特征为血清IgG4升高以及腺组织中IgG4阳性浆细胞浸润。最近,多项研究报道了在IgG4相关疾病背景下发生的恶性淋巴瘤以及产生IgG4的恶性淋巴瘤(非IgG4相关疾病)。
我们报告了一例70岁男性病例,因其血清IgG4浓度高(215mg/dl)以及腮腺和颌下腺双侧肿大而被高度怀疑为IgG4-DS。对颈部淋巴结和部分颌下腺进行了活检。这些组织病理学结果随后证实诊断为边缘区B细胞淋巴瘤。
IgG4-DS需要与其他疾病进行鉴别诊断,包括干燥综合征、结节病、卡斯特曼病、韦格纳肉芽肿、淋巴瘤和癌症。我们认为对肿胀病变进行活检对于IgG4-DS的明确诊断很重要,并讨论了该病例的发病机制。
