Presentation
While a handful of reports have reported concurrent presentation, the authors present the first case of eyelid granuloma faciale with eosinophlilic angiocentric fibrosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Respiratoric
- Dyspnea
EAF can affect lower respiratory tracts with airway narrowing that can be characterized by dyspnea. We must consider narrowing of the lower respiratory tracts in patients with EAF complaining of unexplained persistent dyspnea. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
IgG4-related lung disease may be asymptomatic or has symptoms such as cough, hemoptysis, dyspnea, and chest pain 1, 2, 3. [synapse.koreamed.org]

Some patients with IgG4-related lung disease experience cough, hemoptysis, dyspnea, pleural effusion, or chest discomfort (15, 56, 58). In others, however, the presence of lung disease is asymptomatic and discovered only incidentally upon imaging. [pancreapedia.org]
- Nasal Discharge
All laboratory tests were unremarkable, except the nasal discharge eosinophil count that showed a conspicuous eosinophilia. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Free PMC article Abstract A 58-year-old Caucasian male presented with left periorbital oedema extending to the nasal area for 1 year along with nasal discharge for 1 month. [pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Chronic Cough
A 69-year-old female consulted our hospital following the detection of an abnormal chest shadow with chronic cough. [surgicalcasereports.springeropen.com]
- Stridor
We report a case xc of 56-year-old lady referred to our institution with globus sensation, hoarseness, and mild stridor. Incidental subglottic mass was found at time of diagnostic microlaryngoscopy and biopsy confirmed subglottic EAF. [unboundmedicine.com]
Eyes
- Periorbital Edema
A 61-year-old man presented with a 6-week history of right periorbital edema and painless proptosis. Examination revealed a nonaxial proptosis, lateral globe displacement, and mild limitation in right eye adduction. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Ophthalmic manifestations such as proptosis, periorbital edema, displacement of the eyeball and epiphora have been described more rarely. 2–5 A recent study has proposed that EAF could be part of the spectrum of IgG4-related diseases. 1 Our patient presented [elsevier.es]
Workup
X-Ray
- Multiple Pulmonary Nodules
A CT scan of the thorax was performed to rule out granulomatosis with polyangiitis and showed multiple pulmonary nodules. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment
To date, no consensus has been reached on the optimal treatment of subglottic EAF. We recommend regular follow-up to detect early recurrence. [unboundmedicine.com]
Biopsies are necessary for diagnosis and treatment planning, although cures are usually of palliative effect. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

[ edit ] As recognition of IgG4-RD is relatively recent, there are limited studies on its epidemiology. [en.wikipedia.org]
Pathophysiology
The exact pathophysiology of EAF remains unclear. [ijpmonline.org]
The pathophysiology of KD may relate to a disturbance in the normal rate of production of eosinophils and IgE resulting in excessive elaboration of eosinophilotrophic cytokines such as interleukin 4 (Day 1995). KD is quite a rare condition. [mafiadoc.com]
The nomenclature system reinforces the concept that the same fundamental pathophysiologic processes are operative across organ systems, regardless of whether the role of IgG4 is primary or secondary. [pancreapedia.org]
[…] unknown about the behavior of the IgG4 molecule in vivo, the pathways through which this immunoglobulin participates in disease, and whether or not the role of IgG4 is primary or secondary. 20, 21, 22 In time, discoveries pertaining to the etiology and pathophysiology [nature.com]
