Introduction: Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a connective tissue disease at the interface between inflammation and autoimmunity progressively leading to diffuse microvascular and fibrotic involvement of the skin and of multiple internal organs. Approximately, 20-40% of SSc patients suffer from cutaneous calcinosis, a debilitating manifestation due to calcium salt deposition in soft connective tissues, causing pain, ulceration, infection, and deformities, responsible of severe functional limitations. Pathomechanisms are poorly understood as well as markers/molecules capable to predict the risk of patients to develop calcinosis.

Rotator cuff calcific tendinopathy and arthrofibrosis of the shoulder (adhesive capsulitis) are debilitating musculoskeletal disorders that significantly impact joint function and impair quality of life. Despite its high prevalence and common clinical presentation, the metabolic mechanisms underlying these conditions characterized by pain, and reduced mobility, remain poorly understood. This review aims to elucidate the role of metabolic processes implicated in the pathogenesis of calcific tendinopathy and shoulder arthrofibrosis.

IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is a rare illness with inflammatory and fibrotic changes in affected organs such as pancreas, thyroid, salivary or lacrimal glands, and retroperitoneal space; rarely other organs may be involved. IgG4-related breast disease (IgG4-BD) is very rare and generally presents as a lump or mastitis. IgG4-BD as a presenting feature of IgG4-RD is extremely rare.
