Differential diagnosis of immunoglobulin G4-related sialadenitis and Kimura's disease of the salivary gland: a comparative case series
2021, International Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial SurgeryCitation Excerpt :The overlapping characteristics indicate the possibility that they may have a common aetiological basis, and extrinsic or intrinsic antigens and impaired immune regulation have been implicated as potential aetiological factors of both IgG4-RS22 and KD23. Some researchers, such as Li et al., considered the presence of serum IgG4 elevation and IgG4-positive cell infiltration epiphenomena of KD related to chronic antigen exposure, but several researchers have suggested the co-existence of IgG4-RD and KD16–18. The definitive pathogenesis requires further investigation.
Rare case of Kimura disease of the upper lip: A case report
2020, Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Medicine, and PathologyCitation Excerpt :Similarly, there was a report that described the infiltration of IgG4-positive plasma cells in the case of ALHE [37]. Because there was a report that outlined that the percentage of IgG4+/IgG+ plasma cells was 50% or more in chronic recurrent KD [36], the level of the IgG4 positive plasma cells in KD may be one of the indicators of the risk of recurrence. There was a strong predominance of Th2 cells in patients with KD.
