Abstract:

Mikulicz disease is an IgG4 related disease and a rare systemic immune-mediated fibrotic disease. Its diagnosis and treatment are complex, and there is currently limited research on it, making it prone to misdiagnosis. Early diagnosis and treatment of this rare disease can prevent organ damage caused by fibrosis in later stages. We report a case of Mikulicz disease of the parotid gland admitted to our hospital and conduct a literature review to discuss the concept, development process, diagnosis, and treatment of this disease, in order to improve clinical doctors’ understanding of this disease.

Key words: Mikulicz disease, immunoglobulin (IgG4)related diseases, salivary gland tumors
