چکیده

A 54-year-old man had a 5-year history of painless bilateral eyelid swelling, proptosis, and diplopia. MRI showed enlargement of extraocular muscles, lacrimal gland, and divisions of the trigeminal nerve (figure 1). Biopsy from the left infraorbital canal demonstrated lymphoplasmacytic infiltrate and fibrosis. Mean number of immunoglobulin G (IgG)41 cells was 155 per high-power field and ratio of IgG41/IgG1 cells was 89% (figure 2). Figure 1 Brain MRI findings

IgG4-related inflammatory pseudotumor of the trigeminal nerve: another component of IgG4-related sclerosing disease?

IgG4-related IPTs have been reported in various sites and may form part of the spectrum of systemic IgG4-related sclerosing disease. Some pseudotumors are clinically and radiologically indistinguishable from malignant tumors. We present the first case of an IgG4-related IPT of the trigeminal nerve diagnosed histopathologically without involvement of any of the common sites. The trigeminal nerve...

RATIONALE Immunoglobulin G4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is characterized by tumor-like lesions, a dense lymphoplasmacytic infiltrate rich in IgG4-positive plasma cells, storiform fibrosis, and obliterative phlebitis. IgG4-RD has been described in a variety of organ systems; however, it rarely involves the central nervous system. PATIENT CONCERNS A 17-year-old woman visited our clinic with a com...
