Immunoglobulin G4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is a lymphoproliferative disease which is described almost exclusively in adults. There are only a few pediatric patients who have been observed with this disorder. Here, we describe a rare case of IgG4-RD in a 17-year-old girl with a single manifestation-tracheal stenosis without previous intubation or other inciting event. She had mixed dyspnea and noisy and weakened breathing. Immunoproliferative hyper-IgG4 disease was diagnosed, based on elevated serum IgG4 and histological findings. Until now we have chosen to treat the girl only with corticosteroids with a good response so far. The general condition as well as the respiratory function are regularly monitored. The tracheal involvement of IgG4-RD is uncommon. Nonetheless, it is a manifestation that should be included in the differential diagnosis of tracheal stenosis.
免疫球蛋白G4相关性疾病(IgG4-RD)是一种几乎仅在成人中被描述的淋巴增殖性疾病。仅有少数儿科患者被观察到患有这种疾病。在此,我们描述了一名17岁女孩罕见的IgG4-RD病例,其仅有气管狭窄这一单一表现,既往无插管或其他诱发事件。她有混合性呼吸困难以及呼吸嘈杂和减弱。基于血清IgG4升高和组织学检查结果,诊断为免疫增殖性高IgG4疾病。到目前为止,我们选择仅用皮质类固醇治疗该女孩,迄今为止反应良好。定期监测一般状况以及呼吸功能。IgG4-RD累及气管并不常见。尽管如此,它是气管狭窄鉴别诊断中应包括的一种表现。
