Non-IgG4-Related Fibrosclerosing Periaortitis with Multisystemic Involvement / 대한내과학회지

ABSTRACT

Fibrosclerosing periaortitis is a rare condition that refers to a spectrum of idiopathic diseases characterized by a fibroinflammatory reaction that extends from the adventitia of the aorta into the surrounding structures. It can be present in either IgG4-related or non-IgG4-related fibrosclerosing periaortitis. IgG4-related fibrosclerosing periaortitis could be associated with concomitant multi-organ involvement. However, non-IgG4-related fibrosclerosing periaortitis has rarely been associated with systemic manifestations. Here, we report a 76-year-old female with non-IgG4-related fibrosclerosing periaortitis, who developed pancytopenia, pleural effusion and ascites, which improved after high dose steroid treatment.
