ABSTRACT

Caso clínico: Mujer de 43 años, consulta por aumento de volumen orbitario superolateral izquierdo, doloroso, eritematoso de 2 meses de evolución. Se realiza biopsia escisional revelando vasculitis con poliangeítis de glándula lagrimal. El estudio sistémico no reveló compromiso de otros órganos. Discusión: El compromiso orbitario ocurre hasta en el 60% de los pacientes con granulomatosis con poliangeítis. La afección de la glándula lagrimal es rara, y frecuentemente unilateral. Las pruebas serológicas generalmente son negativas, tanto en etapas iniciales, como en las formas localizadas de la enfermedad (AU)


Clinical case: A 43 year-old woman consulted due to 2 months of swelling on the superolateral side of the left orbit, with pain and erythema. An excisional biopsy was performed that revealed vasculitis with polyangiitis of the lacrimal gland. A systemic study showed that no other system was compromised. Discussion: Orbital involvement occurs in up to 60% of patients with granulomatosis with polyangiitis. The involvement of the lacrimal gland is rare and often unilateral. Serological tests are generally negative, both in initial stages, as in localized forms of the disease (AU)
