Objectives: To evaluate the prevalence and clinical associations of anti-C1q antibodies in IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD), focusing on renal involvement and cutaneous small-vessel vasculitis (CSVV).

Methods: We enrolled patients who met the revised 2020 Comprehensive Diagnostic Criteria and/or the 2019 ACR/EULAR Classification Criteria for IgG4-RD. Variables included demographics, organ involvement, clinical phenotypes, disease activity, serum biomarkers, follow-up duration, remission, and relapses.

Objective: Immunoglobulin G4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is a systemic inflammatory condition affecting multiple organs, including the pancreas, salivary glands, lungs, kidneys, skin, and lymph nodes. Clinically, it is characterized by elevated serum IgG and IgG4 levels and tissue infiltration by IgG4-positive plasma cells, lymphocytes, fibrosis, and phlebitis obliterans. IgG4-RD is linked to increased Th2-dominant cytokines, contributing to eosinophilia, elevated serum IgG4, and fibrosis.

Article Synopsis
  • Eosinophilic angiocentric fibrosis (EAF) is a rare, benign condition that typically affects the sinonasal and upper respiratory tract, with very few cases occurring in the brain.
  • The report details a case of a 55-year-old man who was initially misdiagnosed with meningioma due to similar clinical and imaging features but was confirmed to have EAF after surgical examination.
  • This case highlights the importance of considering EAF in the diagnosis of brain lesions that resemble meningiomas, emphasizing the need for thorough histopathological evaluation for accurate diagnosis and treatment.
