Gastrointestinal and Extra-Intestinal Manifestations of IgG4–Related Disease

TL;DR: Histologic analyses of tissues from patients with IgG 4-RD reveal a dense lymphoplasmacytic infiltrate rich in IgG4+ plasma cells, storiform fibrosis, and obliterative phlebitis, although these features vary among organs, and patients have an excellent prognosis.

Pleural effusion related to IgG4.

TL;DR: The possibility of IgG4-related pleural lesion should be considered in patients with pleural effusion of unexplained cause when lymphoplasmacytic infiltration is seen in a pleural biopsy specimen.

The Clinicopathologic Spectrum of IgG4-Related Disease

TL;DR: The concept of immunoglobulin G4-related disease and the most recent knowledge in the clinico-pathological characteristics on this emerging disease are described to guide clinicians in early diagnosis and prevent unnecessary surgical resections.
Journal ArticleDOI

Long-term clinical course and outcomes of immunoglobulin G4-related lung disease.

TL;DR: Most patients showed a favorable outcome with regards to radiologic improvement and maintenance of pulmonary function; however, the response differed according to the radiologic subtype.

Mycophenolate mofetil for maintenance of remission in steroid-dependent autoimmune pancreatitis

TL;DR: The introduction of mycophenolate mofetil was safe and well-tolerated without adverse events, but it did not enable discontinuation of the steroids, and other immunomodulatory therapies should continue to be studied for maintenance of remission in the large subset of patients with refractory or recurrent autoimmune pancreatitis.

IgG4-sclerosing pseudotumor of the trachea: a case report and review of the literature.

TL;DR: I mmunoglobulin G (IgG) molecules are a family of glycoproteins involved predominantly in the anamnestic or secondary immune response and comprise 4 subclasses that vary in their capacity to trigger effector functions and their serum prevalence, with IgG4 being the least abundant.
