要約 目的:高齢者の涙腺に発症した木村病の症例報告。症例:71歳男性が両上眼瞼腫脹で紹介受診した。所見:左側に優位な両上眼瞼涙腺部腫脹を認めた。両涙腺生検術を施行した。病理組織学的にリンパ濾胞形成が散布性,一部は集簇性にみられ,辺縁帯からリンパ濾胞間には好酸球浸潤がみられた。血液検査では好酸球増多とIgE増加がみられた。以上から木村病と診断した。結論:高齢者の場合でも,涙腺部腫脹をきたした際には木村病を鑑別疾患として挙げる必要性がある。
Abstract. Purpose:To report a 71-year-old patient who was diagnosed with eosinophilic granuloma, or Kimura disease, in the lacrimal gland in both eyes. Case:A 71-year-old male presented with swelling of upper eyelid in both eyes since 6 years before. Biopsy of the lacrimal glands showed scattered or partly accumulated lymphoid follicles. Infiltration of eosinophiles was present along the margins or between lymphoid follicles. Hematological studies showed eosinophilia and elevated IgE level. These findings led to the diagnosis as Kimura disease. Conclusion:This case illustrates that Kimura disease may induce swelling of lacrimal glands even in a person of advanced age.
