IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD), an immune-mediated fibroinflammatory disorder, has few reports in combination with monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS). Herein, we present a case of a 69-year-old woman with manifestations of left orbital occupation and visual acuity decline. Ancillary tests indicated persistent positivity of IgG4 antibody, and IgG4-RD-related ophthalmopathy was diagnosed based on the criteria. Concurrently, serum protein electrophoresis revealed an M protein level of 12.23 g/L. Immunofixation electrophoresis suggested a positive IgG λ-type M protein, and MGUS was diagnosed in conjunction with bone marrow smear and flow cytometry.
IgG4相关疾病(IgG4-RD)是一种免疫介导的纤维炎性疾病,与意义未明的单克隆丙种球蛋白病(MGUS)合并的报道较少。在此,我们报告一例69岁女性患者,有左眼眶占位和视力下降表现。辅助检查显示IgG4抗体持续阳性,根据标准诊断为IgG4-RD相关性眼病。同时,血清蛋白电泳显示M蛋白水平为12.23g/L。免疫固定电泳提示IgG λ型M蛋白阳性,结合骨髓涂片和流式细胞术诊断为MGUS。
