A 65-year-old woman with immunoglobulin G4-related disease (IgG4-RD), which was managed with a corticosteroid, underwent percutaneous coronary stent implantation in the left anterior descending artery as a result of angina pectoris. After 9 months, coronary angiography revealed stent migration and occlusion caused by progression of a coronary aneurysm potentially associated with IgG4-RD. ().

Objective: The objective of this study is to present the clinical characteristics of immunoglobulin G4-related diseases (IgG4-RD) patients and describe associated overlap with autoimmune rheumatic diseases (ARDs).
Patients And Methods: This cross-sectional study included 81 patients with IgG4-RD who were recruited from 13 specialized rheumatology departments and centers across the country in collaboration with the Egyptian College of Rheumatology (ECR). Patients underwent a thorough history-taking and clinical examination.

Purposes: Immunoglobulin G4-related disease (IgG4-RD) and plasma cell-type idiopathic multicentric Castleman disease (PC-iMCD) have many overlapping features. Their differential diagnosis is challenging and crucial for clinical management due to their different prognoses and treatments. However, reports that compare these conditions are scarce, especially for patients with lung involvement.

Autoimmune inner ear disease (AIED) is a rare condition characterized by immune-mediated damage to the inner ear, leading to progressive sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) and vestibular symptoms such as vertigo and tinnitus. This study investigates the pathogenesis and therapeutic strategies for AIED through the analysis of three cases with different underlying autoimmune disorders: rheumatoid arthritis, relapsing polychondritis, and IgG4-related disease. The etiology of AIED involves complex immunopathological mechanisms, including molecular mimicry and the "bystander effect," with specific autoantibodies, such as those against heat shock protein 70 (HSP70), playing a potential role in cochlear damage.

Immunoglobulin G4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is an immune-mediated disorder characterized by elevated serum IgG4 levels and the enlargement and fibrosis of organs. As a rare manifestation, coronary arteries can be affected by IgG4-RD as coronary periarteritis, leading to serious complications such as stenosis or aneurysm. Although coronary periarteritis poses a life-threatening condition, optimal treatment strategies remain unclear due to its extreme rarity.

A 40-year-old woman presented with a mass in her OS for 2 years. Examination revealed a large conjunctival lesion on the nasal bulbar conjunctiva OS and a small upper tarsal conjunctival lesion in the OD. Biopsy OD revealed inflammatory granulation tissue, and OS revealed pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia with granulation tissue.
