IgG4-Related Disease Manifested as Cutaneous Plasmacytosis: A Case Report
CONCLUSION: IgG4-RD is a highly misdiagnosed disease that deserves the attention of physicians. The patient we reported could be considered a representative case of IgG4-RD that presents with skin lesions. For patients with suspected IgG4-RD, serum IgG4 testing should be performed, and further imaging, serological tests, and pathology examinations are needed to exclude malignancy, infection, and autoimmune diseases.PMID:37554302 | PMC:PMC10404591 | DOI:10.2147/CCID.S406199 (Source: Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology)
