MPO-ANCA-positive granulomatosis with polyangiitis and concurrent IgG4-related disease with periaortitis and tubulointerstitial nephritis: A case report of a new overlap syndrome?

Journal: International Journal Of Rheumatic Diseases

Abstract

Immunoglobulin G4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is a fibroinflammatory condition that was first recognized as a unique disease entity in the early 2000s. Its diagnosis is based on specific pathologic, serologic, and clinical features, and the exclusion of several differential diagnoses, such antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV). However, emerging evidence suggests that these 2 conditions may overlap in some cases. Here, we report a new case of overlapping IgG4-RD and AAV. The patient was diagnosed with IgG4-RD owing to the presence of periaortitis and IgG4 positive tubulointerstitial nephritis. Myeloperoxidase (MPO)-ANCA positivity, chronic paranasal sinusitis, and glomerulonephritis with granuloma led to a concurrent diagnosis of MPO-ANCA-positive granulomatosis with polyangiitis. Our case supports the hypothesis that diagnoses of IgG4-RD and AAV are not mutually exclusive but can overlap. It can be assumed that an overlap with IgG4-RD typically affects the granulomatous form of AAV, suggesting a common pathophysiological pathway for these 2 conditions.
