IgG4-related disease is characterized by a systemic fibroinflammatory process associated with substantial infiltration by plasma cells with IgG4 in the organs. Dr. Ahmed Metwally and his team from Assuit University were able to confirm that IgG4 can help. A 52-year-old woman presented with a unilateral pleural effusion. Fluid is formed in the parietal pleura and absorbed in parietal pleural lymphatics. PLEURAL EFFUSION Fluid production exceeds absorption. Pleural effusion is a relatively rare complication of FM, . In view of the liver disease with portal hypertension . . igg4-rd is a complex multisystem disease with a single patho- genic mechanism manifesting in a variety of target organs.5 6it is usually associated with systemic involvement including pericar- dial effusion, retroperitoneal fibrosis, sialadenitis, chylothorax, pancreatitis and other systemic involvement.7pulmonary mani- festations of igg4 include In conclusion, asymptomatic pleural effusion and pleural thickening without any other organ involvement may be caused by IgG4-related disease. Analysis of effusion fluid shows exudates containing lymphocytes and IgG4+ plasma cells. Clinical manifestations are largely non-specific and vary according to the spectrum of organs involved. 1. Her chest radiograph showed left lower lobe atelectasis and pleural effusion, and her chest computed tomography scan showed significant left-sided pleural effusion with associated volume loss (panel A). IgG4related disease is characterized by a systemic fibroinflammatory process associated with substantial infiltration by plasma cells with IgG4 in the organs. Pleural effusion is an accumulation of fluid between the tissue layers that line the lungs and chest cavity. Diagnostic confirmation of IgG4-related lung disease may require bronchoscopic or surgical biopsy, partly depending on the site of involvement. Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) demonstrated pericardial effusion with a pericardial cavity that was 24-mm thick. Pleural manifestations include pleural masses and pleural effusions. pleural effusion. 1b) and mesenteric lymph nodes with bilateral pleural effusion (Fig. In conclusion, we reported a very rare case of IgG4-RD, adding recurrent spontaneous hemothorax as a novel manifestation of this uncommon disease. Open in new tab Download slide Kidney ultrasonography showing increased cortical . Tuberculous pleuritis was suspected, but thoracoscopic pleural biopsy revealed lymphoplasmacytic infiltration and fibrosis, with 10 immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4)-positive plasma cells/high-power field, and IgG4/IgG ratio of 40%. Diagnostic work-up of IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) pleural involvement is a complex task, as there is a broad spectrum of differential diagnoses to consider. Histopathological examination of biopsied pleura reveals fibrinous pleuritis with lymphoplasmacytic inflammation including numerous IgG4-positive plasma cells and active fibrosis. 1c). We report the original observation of an isolated pleural effusion as manifestation of IgG4 related disease in a 60-year-old woman. Although the concept of IgG4-related disease was accepted recently, it had been introduced much earlier in fact. 16 . Inoue et al. We report the case of a patient presenting with relapsing pleural effusion, discussing the main challenges for achievement of a definite diagnosis. Several medical and surgical treatment strategies have been . AbstractIgG4-related disease is characterized by a systemic fibroinflammatory process associated with substantial infiltration by plasma cells with IgG4 in the organs. Pleural disease in IgG4-RLD can present, rarely, as sole pleural effusion and, more commonly, with additional pulmonary manifestations of disease. Pleural effusions in IgG4-RD are exudative with cellular constituents rich in lymphocytes and plasma cells. (B) Pleural effusion and pulmonary edema was disappeared after treatment. The postoperative course was good, and the patient is currently being followed up. His serum IgG4 concentration was normal, and there was no evidence of other organ involvement. Pleural effusions in IgG4-RD are exudative with cellular constituents rich in lymphocytes and plasma cells. disappeared pleural effusion and ascites, and decreased soft tissue edema (Figure 1FJ). Clinical responses to corticosteroid therapy were observed in these cases [ 7 ]. This finding may represent a transient condition or the early manifestation of clinically significant IgG4-related disease. It is usually insidious in onset and often mimics malignant or other inflammatory disorders. Because all etiological examinations were negative, the diagnosis was idiopathic FM. . Our patient presented with pleural effusion, and was diagnosed with IgG4-related lung disease (IgG4-RLD) after he received two doses of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine. However, pleural biopsy and immunohistochemistry helped to diagnose IgG4-RD. Serum IgG4 levels were increased. DISCUSSION: The presence of pericardial and pleural effusions with pulmonary nodules can be manifestations of IgG4 related respiratory disease. Pleural effusion, the most common manifestation of pleural disorders, is an abnormal accumulation of fluid in the pleural cavity. 17 several cases of histologically diagnosed (on autopsy or pericardiectomy) igg4-rd pericardial disease have been reported as well. The disease can either We report a 43-year-old Chinese female patient with IgG4-RD involving polyserous effusions with reports of worsening exertional dyspnea for 3 months. Chylothorax, which is characterized by milky-appearing pleural fluid with elevated triglyceride levels or the presence Choi and colleagues reported a case of a 48-year-old male who was found to have IgG4-RLD that presented as thrombophlebitis and a massive pleural effusion. It is characterized by lymphoplasmacytic infiltration, storiform fibrosis, phlebitis, abundant IgG4-positive plasma cells and frequently elevated serum IgG4 level. A 65-year-old man with a previous asbestos exposure presented with cough and pain discomfort. To clarify the significance of . Pleural effusions, which are observed in a wide range of diseases, such as congestive cardiac failure and infectious and malignant diseases, are a common presentation of IgG4-RD. Immunotherapy-related pleural effusion, although uncommon, has also been described . 18-20 igg4-rd pericardial . IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is a systemic, immune-mediated fibro-inflammatory disease that can affect virtually every organ system. We present a case of asymptomatic isolated IgG4 pleural effusion. Pleural effusion is uncommon, but previous re- ports have shown that it is usually exudative (8). Pleural effusion is caused by immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4). IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is a newly recognized autoimmune systemic disorder characterized by elevated levels of serum IgG4 and abundant infiltration of IgG4-positive plasmacytes in the affected organs. We report the case of a patient who presented with pleural effusion, and was diagnosed with IgG4-related lung disease (IgG4-RLD) after he received two doses of the . Several weeks later, uterine bleeding, pelvic fullness, and bloating developed. Immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4)-related pleural effusion is a rare phenotype of IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD), [1] which is a chronic and systemic fibroinflammatory disorder that includes Mikulicz disease, autoimmune pancreatitis, Riedel thyroiditis, interstitial nephritis, and retroperitoneal fibrosis. Pulmonary vascular involvement Pulmonary hypertension has been reported in several patients with IgG4-RD. | Find, read and cite all the research . We report a case of SS presenting initially with bilateral pleural effusions. IgG4 Disease: Pulmonary Manifestations Parenchymal Nodules or masses Ground glass infiltrates Interstitial infiltrates Mediastinal adenopathy Bronchostenosis Pleural effusions IgG4 Disease Presenting as Interstitial Lung Disease IgG4 Disease Presenting with Consolidations Pleural thickening and/or effusion are common clinical features of IgG4-related pleural lesions, and this condition is histologically characterized by a lymphoplasmacytic infiltrate enriched in IgG4-positive plasma cells in the pleura. Pericardiocentesis revealed 900 mL of exudative effusion, Giemsa staining revealed three or four plasma cells per high-power field in the pericardial effusion (Fig. Video-assisted thoracoscopic (VATS) lung biopsy revealed a pattern similar to usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) and an abundant IgG4-positive plasma cell infiltration. IgG4-related disease is an immune-mediated fibro-inflammatory disease, characterized by lymphoplasmacytic infiltration composed of IgG4-positive plasma cells of various organs with elevated circulating levels of IgG4. Nivolumab is an IgG4 antibody that targets programmed death-1 protein (PD-1) on the T-cell surface. This is a rare case of IgG4-related disease diagnosed by renal biopsy in the patient with retroperitoneal fibrosis and severe acute kidney injury, which progressed rapidly and required hemodialysis . Histopathological examination of biopsied pleura reveals fibrinous pleuritis with lymphoplasmacytic inflammation including numerous IgG4-positive plasma cells and active fibrosis. We diagnosed the patient with an IgG4-related disease with multiple pleural nodules. Lymphatics have the capacity to absorb 20 times more than what is Produced. There are multiple case reports [ 7, 8] of IgG4-RD presenting with pleural effusion or pleural lesions. The pulmonary involvements of IgG4-RD are defined as parenchyma, airway, vasculature, mediastinum and pleural involvement based on the anatomic structure. Figure 2 Kidney ultrasonography. The pleural effusion had also been reported by Choi et al. 2021 L Street NW . previously reported manifestations of igg4-related pleural disease include pleural nodules, 8 pleural effusion, 17 and extensive adhesive fibrinous pleural thickening (focal and diffuse). The comprehensive clinical diagnostic criteria for IgG4- related disease were as follows: 1) a clinical examination showing characteristic diffuse/localized swelling or masses in a single or multiple organs; 2) a hematological examina- One case had diffuse pleural thickening with pleural effusion, but the pleural lesion appeared to be separated from the paravertebral manifestation and was considered as a pleural manifestation rather than a direct extension of the paravertebral mass. Summary: 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. Isolated pleural effusion has been reported in several case studies of IgG4-related disease, but it is much more commonly seen with other lung manifestations such as parenchymal or pleural lesions [ 8, 42 ]. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a large pelvic . Generally, pleural lesions are accompanied by lung parenchymal lesions, but pleural lesions can occur alone. This disease is now reported with increasing frequency and usually affects middle-aged men. We present a case of asymptomatic isolated IgG4 pleural effusion and highlight that IgG4-related disease should be remembered as a differential diagnosis in patients with pleural effusion and pleural thickening, even if asymptomatic and without any other organ involvement.

Immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4)-related pleural effusion is a rare phenotype of IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD), [ 1] which is a chronic and systemic fibroinflammatory disorder that includes Mikulicz disease, autoimmune pancreatitis, Riedel thyroiditis, interstitial nephritis, and retroperitoneal fibrosis. Eosinophilic pleural and pericardial effusions occur in EGPA ANCA is not 100% specific: e.g., a patient with supraaortic large artery vasculitis with low-titer ANCA still more likely has GCA Because IgG4 elevation is common in AAV, it should always be included in its differential diagnosis. IgG4 concentrations in serum and right pleural effusion were 929 and 1120 mg/dL, respectively. (Fig. Zen Y, Inoue D, Kitao A, et al. As recently described immunoglobulin (Ig)G4-related disease is a fibroinflammatory disorder that can affect various organs, including the lungs, we investigate whether idiopathic pleural effusion includes IgG4-associated etiology. Acute kidney injury and pleural effusion were diagnosed and she received hemodialysis. 50% of patients may be asymptomatic and are diagnosed after abnormal chest imaging studies. Extranodal Rosai-Dorfman disease- IgG4. A 63 . Of the treatment-related serious adverse events, pleural effusion was not reported and pericardial effusion was reported in 1 out of 287 patients (<1 %) . Chest CT scan revealed bilateral consolidations especially in the lower lobes, enlarged mediastinal and hilar lymph nodes and pleural effusions. Pleural involvement in IgG4-RD can be seen in isolation or association with other organ disease. Diagnostic value of pleural effusion. Immunoglobulin G4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is a recently described immune-mediated fibroinflammatory disease with a characteristic histopathologic appearance that can affect various organs. The postoperative serum IgG4 concentration was 289 mg/dL. Saria Tasnim, Ola Al-Jobory, Ahmad Hallak, Taru Bharadwaj, Manish Patel DOI: 10.1002/rcr2.1026. Fourth, patients with IgG4-RLD may present with other clinical manifestations which do not fit into the classification we used in this study. While the lungs are involved in 9%-18% of IgG4-RD pa- tients (4-7), pleural involvement is observed in only 4% (4, 5). Among the eight extant cases describing IgG4-related pleural disease, three cases reported the levels of IgG4 in the pleural effusion to be 124 to 653 mg/dL, and in all eight cases, the levels of serum IgG4 were 136 to 740 mg/dL. Because of the rarity of the disease, the clinical course and long . To date, lymphocyte-dominated exudative pleural effusion with a high level of ADA has been considered an indication of tuberculous pleuritis. Diagnosis frequently requires a combination of clinical, serological, radiographic, and histopathological features, including increased serum-IgG4 levels and tissue . IgG4 related lung disease manifests as nodular lesions, non-specific infiltrates, "ground-glass" appearance with pleural thickening, and effusion .

TTF-1 (+), CD68 (+), CD3 (+), IgG (+), CD20 (+), Ki67 (3%+), IgG4 (), P40 (), and CD34 (). Tumor biomarkers such as carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) may have a role in the diagnosis of malignant pleural effusion. Keywords: Immunoglobulin G; Pleural Effusion; Thrombophlebitis Introduction Immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4)-related disease is a recently recognized fibroinflammatory condition. Serum IgG4 levels have returned to within normal limits, while there is evidence of reduction in both pleural thickening and effusion volume on serial imaging with no features to suggest further organ system involvement by his IgG4-related disease.
