Immunoglobulin G4-related Disease with Marked Eosinophilia: A Case Report and Literature Review
We encountered a 78-year-old Japanese man with IgG4-related sialoadenitis complicated with marked eosinophilia. We diagnosed him with IgG4-RD (related disease) with a submandibular gland tumor, serum IgG4 elevation, IgG4-positive plasma cell infiltration, and storiform fibrosis. During follow-up aft...

Sumario: | We encountered a 78-year-old Japanese man with IgG4-related sialoadenitis complicated with marked eosinophilia. We diagnosed him with IgG4-RD (related disease) with a submandibular gland tumor, serum IgG4 elevation, IgG4-positive plasma cell infiltration, and storiform fibrosis. During follow-up after total incision of the submandibular gland, the peripheral eosinophil count was markedly elevated to 29,480 /μL. The differential diagnosis of severe eosinophilia without IgG4-RD was excluded. The patient exhibited a prompt response to corticosteroid therapy. His peripheral blood eosinophil count was the highest ever reported among similar cases. We also review previous cases of IgG4-RD with severe eosinophilia. |
