Immunoglobulin G4-related disease presenting with hypertrophy and sclerosis of the inferior turbinate.
Immunoglobulin G4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is a novel clinical disease entity characterized by elevated serum IgG4 concentration and tumefaction or tissue infiltration by IgG4+ plasma cells.1 We report the case of a 56-year-old man who presented with nasal obstruction for 5 years. Rhinoscopy revealed hypertrophy and sclerosis of the inferior turbinate, whereas computed tomography revealed inflammation of the anterior ethmoid sinus and frontal sinuses. An endoscopic inferior turbinectomy was performed, and IgG4-RD was definitively diagnosed based on the histopathological features of the turbinate tissue. Prednisolone was administered postoperatively. IgG4-RD presenting with hypertrophy and sclerosis of the inferior turbinate is rare. Awareness of IgG4-RD originating in the sinonasal cavity is essential to avoid delayed diagnosis.
