Abstract

IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is an immune-mediated multiorgan fibroinflammatory disorder with variable clinical presentations. IgG4-RD cardiovascular involvement is considered rare, with pulmonary arterial involvement reported in a small subset of cases. Known pulmonary artery manifestations include pulmonary arteritis, pulmonary artery stenoses and central pulmonary artery aneurysms. Here we report 2 different patients with multifocal dilatation of the segmental and subsegmental pulmonary arteries with differing degrees of severity. Both patients also had coronary arterial abnormalities.

Keywords: Arteritis; Coronary artery aneurysm; IgG4-related disease; Pulmonary artery aneurysm.
