Immunoglobulin G4-related disease (IgG4 RD), first described in 2001, as a case of autoimmune pancreatitis, is a multisystemic condition, involving the salivary glands, bile ducts, pancreas, retroperitoneal organs, and mesentery and is associated with raised level of serum IgG4. Reports of coronary involvement by IgG4 RD are scarce and we could find only 16 case reports in the literature. Here, we present a case of a 61-year-old lady, with no known comorbidities, who presented with rapid progression of coronary artery stenosis. Initially, she presented with mild stenosis of left anterior descending which rapidly progressed to significant triple vessel disease in 3 months. Serological workup for antibodies was negative, except for raised serum IgG4 antibodies. She was managed effectively with steroids.
免疫球蛋白G4相关性疾病(IgG4 RD)于2001年首次被描述为自身免疫性胰腺炎病例,是一种多系统疾病,累及唾液腺、胆管、胰腺、腹膜后器官和肠系膜,且与血清IgG4水平升高有关。IgG4 RD累及冠状动脉的报道很少,我们在文献中仅能找到16例病例报告。在此,我们报告一例61岁女性患者,无已知合并症,表现为冠状动脉狭窄迅速进展。最初,她表现为左前降支轻度狭窄,3个月内迅速进展为严重的三支血管病变。除血清IgG4抗体升高外,抗体的血清学检查均为阴性。她接受类固醇治疗后病情得到有效控制。
