Relapsing Polychondritis or RP-like Symptoms Associated With IgG4-RD. Case Reports and Review of the Literature
Keyword(s):
Abstract Relapsing polychondritis (RP) is a rare systemic disorder characterized by recurrent, widespread chondritis of the auricular, nasal, and tracheal cartilages. IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is a systemic immune-mediated disease characterized by the infiltration of IgG4-bearing plasma cells into systemic organs. Although 25% to 35% of patients with RP have a concurrent autoimmune disease. The coexistence of RP and IgG4 is rare considering that, to the best of our knowledge, there are only four previous reports of RP or RP-like symptoms associated with IgG4-RD. (1-4) We herein report two cases which could be RP or RP-like symptoms associated with IgG4-RD.
