A subset of ocular adnexal marginal zone lymphomas may arise in association with IgG4-related disease
We previously suggested a relationship between ocular immunoglobulin (Ig)G4-related disease (IgG4-RD) and marginal zone lymphomas (MZLs). However, the cytokine background associated with these disorders and whether it differs between ocular adnexal MZLs with (IgG4-associated MZL) and without (IgG4-negative MZL) numerous IgG4(+) plasma cells are unknown. In this study, we identified the mRNA exp...
متن کاملPulmonary schistosomiasis mimicking IgG4‐related lung disease
IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is a systemic fibroinflammatory disease characterized by tumefactive lesions in various organ systems, including the lungs. Clinical and radiological manifestations of IgG4-RD are relatively non-specific, and we report a case highlighting the importance of histopathological confirmation in cases of suspected IgG4-related lung disease. A 44-year-old male with signi...
متن کاملA Case of IgG4-related Orbitopathy
IgG4-related disease is an immune-mediated disorder affecting almost all major organs of the body. A 62-year-old male, who was diagnosed with an orbital tumor and a nasal-orbital communicating tumor of the left eye, underwent endoscopic endonasal removal of the orbital tumor and fenestration of the ethmoid sinus. The tumor originated in the orbital tissue and showed pathological changes associa...
متن کاملIgG4-related disease of the thyroid glands.
Recent reports on Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) with increased numbers of IgG4-positive plasma cells suggest that this type of HT may have a close relationship to IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD). This unique subgroup of HT is termed as IgG4 thyroiditis and reveals distinct clinical, serological, and sonographic features from the non-IgG4 thyroiditis group. On the basis of immunostaining for IgG...
متن کاملThiazolidinedione induced thyroid associated orbitopathy
BACKGROUND To describe an episode of thyroid associated orbitopathy (TAO) following the initiation of thiazolidinedione (TZD). CASE PRESENTATION We report a female patient with a history of Graves' disease and stabilised thyroid associated orbitopathy for 2.5 years, who experienced rapid progression of TAO after the initiation of thiazolidinedione for glycemic control. Following the discontin...
