Introduction: IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is an immune-mediated fibroinflammatory disease that can affect nearly every organ system, including blood vessels and the kidney. IgG4-related vascular lesions mainly involve the aorta, and the dominant renal manifestation is tubulointerstitial nephritis (TIN). Here, we report a case of IgG4-RD demonstrating extensive abdominal periarteritis and membranous nephropathy (MN).

Background: Cutaneous polyarteritis nodosa (cPAN) is a skin medium vessel neutrophilic arteritis with livedo, nodules, and ulcerations. Macular lymphocytic arteritis (MLA) is a small arteritis with erythematous or pigmented macules and typical histologic features (a lymphocytic infiltrate, concentric fibrin ring, no disruption of the internal elastic lamina).
Objective: We sought to assess the frequency of clinical and histologic features of MLA in patients with cPAN.

Polyarteritis nodosa (PAN) is a necrotizing systemic vasculitis involving the wall of small and medium sized arteries. The histologic aspect is defined by the presence of fibrinoid necrosis and an infiltrate rich in neutrophil polynuclears in the artery wall and rare granulomas. Clinical manifestations are misleading, and more often the symptoms of the disease are retrospectively related to the PAN.
