Short Description

IgG4-related disease is a recently recognized syndrome of unknown etiology most often occurring in middle-aged and older men. Several organ systems can be involved and encompasses many previous and newly described diseases such as Type1 autoimmune pancreatitis Mikulicz disease and Sclerosing sialadenitis Inflammatory orbital pseudotumor Chronic sclerosing aortitis Riedel thyroiditis, a subset of Hashimoto thyroiditis IgG4-related interstitial pneumonitis and IgG4-related tubulointerstitial nephritis. Each of these entities is characterized by tumor-like swelling of the involved organs with infiltrative, predominately IgG4-positive plasma cells with accompanying "storiform" fibrosis.
