Preferred Nomenclature for Individual Organ Manifestations of IgG4-Related Disease.
| Organ System/Tissue | Preferred Name |
|---|---|
| Pancreas | Type 1 autoimmune pancreatitis (IgG4-related pancreatitis) |
| Eye | IgG4-related ophthalmic disease is the general term for the peri-ocular manifestations of this disease. There are several subsets, outlined below. |
| Lacrimal glands | IgG4-related dacryoadenitis |
| Orbital soft tissue (orbital inflammatory pseudotumor) | IgG4-related orbital inflammation (or IgG4-related orbital inflammatory pseudotumor) |
| Extra-ocular muscle disease | IgG4-related orbital myositis |
| Orbit with involvement of multiple anatomic structures | IgG4-related pan-orbital inflammation (includes lacrimal gland disease, extra-ocular muscle involvement, and other potential intra-orbital complications) |
| Salivary glands (parotid and submandibular glands) | IgG4-related sialadenitis or, more specifically, IgG4-related parotitis or IgG4-related submandibular gland disease |
| Pachymeninges | IgG4-related pachymeningitis |
| Hypophysis | IgG4-related hypophysitis |
| Thyroid (Riedel’s thyroiditis) | IgG4-related thyroiditis |
| Aorta | IgG4-related aortitis/periaortitis |
| Arteries | IgG4-related periarteritis |
| Mediastinum | IgG4-related mediastinitis |
| Retroperitoneum | IgG4-related retroperitoneal fibrosis |
| Mesentery | IgG4-related mesenteritis |
| Skin | IgG4-related skin disease |
| Lymph node | IgG4-related lymphadenopathy |
| Bile ducts | IgG4-related sclerosing cholangitis |
| Gallbladder | IgG4-related cholecystitis |
| Liver | IgG4-related hepatopathy (refers to liver involvement that is distinct from biliary tract involvement) |
| Lung | IgG4-related lung disease |
| Pleura | IgG4-related pleuritis |
| Pericardium | IgG4-related pericarditis |
| Kidney | IgG4-related kidney disease. The specific renal complications should be termed tubulointerstitial nephritis secondary to IgG4-RD and membranous glomerulonephritis secondary to IgG4-RD. Involvement of the renal pelvis should be termed IgG4-related renal pyelitis. |
| Breast | IgG4-related mastitis |
| Prostate | IgG4-related prostatitis |
