Mikulicz's disease is a unique condition involving the enlargement of the lacrimal and salivary glands, similar to that observed in Sjogren's syndrome; however, Mikulicz's disease is clinically characterized by infrequent autoimmune reactions and responsiveness to glucocorticoid treatment. The ultrasound features of the lacrimal and salivary glands in patients with IgG4-Mikulicz's disease were characterized by multiple hypoechoic areas of varying sizes within the enlarged glands. IgG4 serum level was also elevated, in contrast to the detection of normal levels in Sjogren's syndrome. In this article, we intended to illustrate a case of Mikulicz's disease with clinical and imaging features.
米库利茨病是一种独特的疾病,涉及泪腺和唾液腺肿大,类似于干燥综合征观察到的情况;然而,米库利茨病的临床特征是自身免疫反应不频繁,对糖皮质激素治疗有反应。IgG4-米库利茨病患者的泪腺和唾液腺的超声特征表现为肿大的腺体中存在多个大小不一的低回声区。IgG4 血清水平也升高,与干燥综合征检测到的正常水平相反。在本文中,我们旨在说明一例具有临床和影像学特征的米库利茨病病例。
