Concomitant presentation of eosinophilic or oncocytic mucoepidermoid carcinoma, immunoglobulin G4–related disease, and adult-onset asthma and periocular xanthogranuloma: Case report of 3 uncommon clinical entities
Abstract:Rationale:
Immunoglobulin (Ig) G4–related disease (IgG4-RD) reportedly has a strong relationship with adult-onset asthma and periocular xanthogranuloma (AAPOX) and may be linked to sclerosing mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC). We present a rare case of IgG4-RD and AAPOX occurring in a patient with resected eosinophilic or oncocytic MEC.
Patient concerns:
