Background:The relationship between the pathological findings and disease relapse has not been well established.Objectives:We aim to investigate the clinical and pathological manifestations in relation with disease relapse in IgG4-RD, as well as identify prognostic factors in predicting relapsed disease.Methods:This study enrolled 71 patients newly diagnosed with IgG4-RD between Jan 2011 and April 2020, all of whom had received pathological examinations. Their pathological manifestations and clinical data were collected. Multivariate Cox regression and AUC (area under curve) were used to identify predictors for relapsed disease and assess the predictive value of these predictors, respectively.Results:During a follow-up period of 26 (range, 6-123) months, 4.2% (3/71) patients died. The remaining 68 patients were all treated with glucocorticoids with or without immunosuppressor continuously. By the end of follow-up, 47 (69.1%) patients sustained clinical remission, and 21 (30.9%) patients suffered relapsed disease with a median relapse time at 10 (6-30) months. We found that IgG4 ≥ 6.5g/L (OR 1.52-11.06), IgG ≥ 20.8g/L (OR 1.11-7.23), IgG4-RD responder index (RI) ≥ 9 (OR 1.28-11.37), and more IgG4+ plasma cell infiltration (≥ 60 / HPF in visceral organs, or ≥ 200 / HPF in head and neck organs) (OR 1.79-22.41) were all independent predictive factors for disease relapse. A prognostic score was explored for predicting recurrence in IgG4-RD, including three predictive factors (IgG ≥ 20.8g/L, IgG4-RD RI ≥9, and more IgG4+ plasma cell infiltration). The three-year relapse rate for the patients with no, one, two, and three risk factors were 0%, 27.3%, 66.7%, and 100%, respectively.Conclusion:Patients’ earlier IgG4 ≥ 6.5g/L, IgG ≥ 20.8g/L, IgG4-RD RI ≥9, and more IgG4+ plasma cell infiltration independently predicted disease relapse. We explored a prognostic score for predicting recurrence in IgG4-RD include three predictive factors (IgG ≥ 20.8g/L, IgG4-RD RI ≥9, and more IgG4+ plasma cell infiltration), which might be used to evaluate the risk of recurrence in IgG4-RD.References:[1]DESHPANDE V, ZEN Y, CHAN J K, et al.

IgG4-related disease is a new disease group that affects multiple organs. It is characterized by high serum IgG4 and abundant infiltration of IgG4-bearing plasma cells in the affected organ. Here, we describe an intriguing case that suggested that IgG4-related disease might present without IgG4 overexpression or infiltration, at least during a relapse. A 47-year-old man had been diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematosus 15 years. He was admitted due to a pituitary mass, systemic lymphadenopathy, and multiple nodules in the lungs and kidneys. The serum IgG4 level was normal and histopathological examination of the pituitary mass showed abundant lymphocyte and plasma cell infiltration with very few IgG4-positive cells. When we examined specimens preserved from 15 years ago, we found high serum IgG4 levels and IgG4-bearing plasma cell infiltration. This resulted in a diagnosis of IgG4-related disease, and we considered the current episode to be a relapse without IgG4 overexpression. This case indicated that, to clarify the pathogenesis of IgG4-related disease, current cases should repeat specimen evaluations over the course of IgG4-related disease to define diagnostic markers.

IgG4-related disease is a recent entity that has been described in a wide variety of organ systems. A 46-year-old female presented with acute appendicitis accompanied by a mass-forming lesion, raising a concern for neoplasm, and therefore, hemicolectomy was performed. The lesion revealed a dense lymphoplasmacytic infiltrate accompanied by storiform fibrosis and obliterative phlebitis. The IgG4/IgG plasma cell ratio was >50%, and the number of IgG4-positive plasma cells was >100/high-power field. In order to assess the IgG4/IgG plasma cell ratio, MUM1 was employed instead of IgG to successfully estimate the plasma cell concentration. There was also a concomitant hyperplasia of S100-positive cell, which could represent dendritic or Schwannian origin and possibly play a pathophysiologic role. The hyperplasia was significant by itself that it may mimic a mass-forming lesion. This newly described entity of the past decade deserves increased recognition due to clinical implication and surgical morbidity. This is the first case of IgG4-related disease in the appendix to our knowledge that fully satisfied all the pathological diagnostic criteria. We would like to also highlight our innovative approach of evaluating the IgG4/IgG plasma cell.

Abstract Background Immunoglobulin G4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is a multi-organ disorder predominantly occurring in middle-aged to elderly male patients characterized by multi-organ fibrosis, specific pathological findings of storiform fibrosis with IgG4-positive plasma cell infiltration, and elevated serum IgG4 level. We herein report a rare presentation of IgG4-RD forming an isolated mass in the middle mediastinum mimicking a mediastinal tumor and discuss the clinical significance of mediastinal IgG4-RD. Case presentation An 82-year-old male patient without any symptom was referred due to left middle mediastinal mass (3.8 × 2.4 cm). Because of suspected lymphoma, Castleman’s disease, and lymphangitis due to tuberculosis, we performed a thoracoscopic resection for diagnosis and treatment. The mass was yellowish white with well-encapsulated, and storiform fibrosis with plasma cell infiltration, and obliterative phlebitis were observed microscopically. Additional immunohistochemical stain revealed IgG4-RD. Other radiological findings and serological results did not show evidence of other organs being affected from IgG4-RD nor autoimmune diseases. He is now followed at outpatient clinic without additional treatment for over a year, and an enhanced computed tomography does not show any recurrence. Conclusion It was a rare presentation of IgG4-RD forming isolated middle mediastinal mass, which suggests that we might suspect IgG4-RD for undetermined mediastinal mass in case of middle to elderly male patient.

Background:Through initial response to treatment with GC, the patients with IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) exhibited high relapse rate after reduction or withdrawal of GC treatment, indicated the unsatisfactory prognosis for IgG4-RD. It is of clinical significance to develop new informative risk factors for refractory and relapsed disease.Objectives:To evaluate the prognosis of IgG4-RD and identify predictive factors for treatment resistance and disease relapse in a Chinese cohort.Methods:102 patients newly diagnosed with IgG4-RD were followed for 6-111 months. Clinical data were compared between patients whose disease went into remission and those who suffered refractory or relapsed disease. Predictive factors for refractory and relapsed disease were calculated by univariate analysis.Results:Among the 78 patients who received medical treatment with regular follow-up, 55 (59.8%) patients sustained clinical remission, and 23 (25%) patients suffered refractory or relapsed disease. The mortality and incidence of malignancy were both 4.35% during follow-up. Serum TNF-α ≥ 13 pg/ml, sIL-2R ≥ 1010 pg/ml, TC < 3.55 mmol/L, LDL < 2.0 mmol/L, IgG > 20.2 g/L, GC withdrawal, and treatment without immunosuppressor (IM) during the maintenance period (OR 3.23) were predictive factors for refractory and relapsed IgG4-RD. The combination of GC and IM treatment was protective (OR 0.338) against refractory and relapsed IgG4-RD.Conclusion:Serum TNF-α, sIL-2R, LDL, TC, IgG, GC withdrawal, and treatment without IM during the maintenance period were predictive factors for refractory and relapsed IgG4-RD. Treatment with GC and IM may protect against refractory and relapsed IgG4-RD.References:[1]Takahashi H, Yamamoto M, Suzuki C, Naishiro Y, Shinomura Y, Imai K.
