چکیده

A 53-year-old male patient with chronic renal failure and biopsy-proven Immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4) renal involvement presented with complains of chest pain and syncope. An ECG showed lateral ST segment depressions concerning for myocardial ischemia. The patient underwent coronary catheterization, which revealed multifocal aneurysms and severe stenosis. A cardiac computerized tomographic angiogram was performed to further characterize aneurysms, which showed aneurysms involving left main, proximal left anterior descending artery, and proximal right coronary artery (Figures 1 and 2). Circumferential mural thickening with associated enhancement of the wall of the coronary arteries, particularly at the site of the stenoses, was concerning for vasculitis. A small pulmonary artery aneurysm was seen in the right upper lobe (Figure 3). Abdominal computerized tomography demonstrated abdominal aortic aneurysm as well as aneurysmal dilatation of dissected superior mesenteric artery (Figure 4). The patient underwent coronary artery bypass grafting surgery with the saphenous vein graft to the mid left anterior descending artery, ramus intermedius, and posterior descending artery. Intraoperative biopsies of the internal mammary artery, pericardium, and aortic adventitia were positive for lymphoplasmacytic infiltrate and IgG4 deposits.

Histopathologic Overlap between Fibrosing Mediastinitis and IgG4-Related Disease

Fibrosing mediastinitis (FM) and IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) are two fibroinflammatory disorders with potentially overlapping clinical and radiological features. In this paper, we looked for histopathologic features of IgG4-RD and enumerated infiltrating IgG4-positive plasma cells within mediastinal tissue biopsies from FM patients. We identified 15 consecutive FM surgical mediastinal tissue...

IgG4-Related Disease and Hypertrophic Pachymeningitis

Hypertrophic pachymeningitis (HP) is an inflammatory condition in which the dura mater of the cranium or spine becomes thickened, leading to symptoms that result from mass effect, nerve compression, or vascular compromise. The differential diagnosis of HP includes immune-mediated conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and vasculitis, malignancies, and infections. Many times, no diagnosis is re...
