PG - 356-360 LID - S0385-8146(23)00187-6 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.anl.2023.10.006 [doi] AB - IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is a chronic inflammatory disorder characterized by elevated IgG4 serum levels, abundant IgG4-positive plasmacyte infiltration, and fibrosis of various organs, including the head and neck. We aimed to provide an overall review of IgG4-RD in the sinonasal region and propose a novel entity and criteria of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) associated with IgG4-RD as "IgG4-CRS," a distinct manifestation of IgG4-RD in the sinonasal region. Sinonasal involvement has been increasingly recognized; however, this region is not included in the classic IgG4-RD-affected organs. The clinical features of IgG4-CRS, including its prevalence and relationship with allergies and olfactory disturbances, have also been explored. Serum IgG4 levels and IgG4-positive plasma cell infiltrations, crucial diagnostic factors, have been discussed in association with IgG4-CRS pathogenesis. Fibrosis, a hallmark of IgG4-RD, is observed in sinonasal tissues; however, typical fibrosis, such as storiform fibrosis, is not usually found. Mimics or complications in eosinophilic CRS (ECRS) and antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis (AAV) are highlighted. Treatment often involves typically effective glucocorticoids. Organ-specific diagnostic criteria for the sinonasal region have not currently been established. Hence, this review aims to foster awareness and understanding of IgG4-CRS among ENT physicians and to provide a basis for future research and diagnostic refinement. CI - Copyright (c) 2023.
