| Core Tip |
IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is an easily misdiagnosed immune disorder with an elevated serum IgG4 and multiple organ involvements. Hence, it is important in early diagnosis for guiding clinical treat¬ments. Here, we report an interesting case of a woman with progressive multi-organ involvement of IgG4-RD for 19 years. The 67-year-old woman has suffered from progressive diseases of multiple organs, including lacrimal glands, kidneys, parotid glands, submandibular glands, salivary glands, pituitary, pancreas and lung. Patients with IgG4-RD normally respond well to steroid therapy; however, the broad spectrum of manifestation with commonly clinical features of other diseases easily leads to misdiagnosis and improper treatment in clinical settings. Therefore, this report highlights the importance of early diagnosis in this autoimmune disease. |
