We describe a 64-year-old woman with chronic sclerosing sialadenitis and dacryoadenitis, which developed during treatment for cervical lymph node tuberculosis. Anti-tuberculosis treatment did not improve the swelling in the lacrimal and submandibular glands, and a biopsy specimen of the lacrimal gland showed inflammation, with abundant lymphoid follicles with fibrosis and granuloma without caseous necrosis. Immunohistological examination of a repeat biopsy specimen showed abundant immunoglobulin (Ig) G4-positive plasma cell infiltration. Corticosteroid therapy improved the salivary gland swelling without reactivation of the tuberculosis. This case suggests that an abnormal immunological reaction to tuberculosis may be one of the etiological candidates for IgG4-related disease. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
