Implication

Multicenter observational study reports frequent glandular and vascular involvement in IgG4-related disease, highlighting persistent diagnostic challenges.

Key Points

Salivary gland involvement occurred in 37.5% of patients with igg4 related disease, while a quarter presented with isolated single organ manifestations.
Lacrimal glands and the aorta each showed involvement in 25% of the 24 cohort cases, often mimicking malignancies or chronic vasculitis during staging.
National multicenter observational study analyzed treatment patterns, highlighting how frequent relapses after corticosteroid treatment require maintenance therapy.
