Case reportSignificant Pericardial Involvement of Immunoglobulin G4–Related Disease
Section snippets
Comment
Clinical manifestations of systemic IgG4-RD include autoimmune pancreatitis, interstitial pneumonia, retroperitoneal fibrosis, tubulointerstitial nephritis, autoimmune prostatitis, sclerosing cholangitis, Riedel's thyroiditis, and Mikulicz's disease 1, 2, 4, 5, 6. Recent studies have demonstrated that patients with autoimmune pancreatitis exhibit recurrent pleural and pericardial effusions [7], pericardial thickening [8], and also constrictive pericarditis [9]. Massive pericardial inflammation
