متن کاملDesquamative Interstitial Pneumonia Complicated with IgG4-related Lung Disease
As an idiopathic interstitial pneumonia, desquamative interstitial pneumonia (DIP) is an uncommon form of interstitial lung disease and is considered to be a smoking- or dust inhalation-related interstitial pneumonia in the majority of cases. However, the details regarding immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4)-related lung disease remain unclear and controversial. We herein report the first case of DIP comp...

PURPOSE OF REVIEW This review examines recent advances in our knowledge of the clinical, pathological, diagnostic, and therapeutic aspects of IgG4-related interstitial lung disease (ILD). RECENT FINDINGS A recent case series of ILD with IgG4-positive plasma cells suggested grade 1 lymphomatoid granulomatosis. The presence of the IgG4-positive plasma cells with the lack of atypical cells favor...
متن کاملPulmonary hypertension associated with obliterative phlebitis in IgG4-related lung disease.
IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is a systemic fibroinflammatory disease associated with elevated serum IgG4 level and IgG4-positive plasma cell infiltration into multiple organs [1]. In 2001, HAMANO et al. [2] reported that patients with autoimmune pancreatitis have high-serum IgG4 concentrations. Subsequently, IgG4-related lesions similar to those of autoimmune pancreatitis have been identified...
