• | Only two cases of VEXAS with Castleman-like lymph node mimicking iMCD are reported in the literature. |
• | VEXAS syndrome should be considered in the presence of iMCD suspicion, including patients with compatible histology. |
Abstract |
Introduction |
Idiopathic Multicentric Castleman Disease (iMCD) is a complex and poorly understood pathophysiological entity, which encompasses a variety of conditions and can mimic or be associated with autoimmune/autoinflammatory diseases, making it challenging to diagnose and treat. Vacuoles, Enzyme E1, X-linked, Autoinflammatory, Somatic (VEXAS) syndrome is an adult-onset autoinflammatory disorder associated with hematological abnormalities and caused by acquired somatic mutations in the ubiquitin-like modifier activating enzyme 1 gene (UBA1) which shares several common clinical and biological signs with iMCD. In this article, we report a patient with VEXAS syndrome initially presenting as iMCD, questioning the link between these two entities.
Case description |
We report here a patient initially presenting as iMCD, proved on lymph node histology, which turns out to have a mutation at the splice acceptor site of exon 3 of UBA1 exhibiting VEXAS syndrome with Castleman-like lymph node.
Conclusion |
This is only the second case of VEXAS syndrome presenting as iMCD. VEXAS syndrome should therefore be considered in the presence of iMCD suspicion, including in cases of compatible histology.
