Case notes were reviewed for clinical details, laboratory and radiology results. Histological features according to the Boston Criteria were used. Patients with available case notes, highly suggestive or probable histology and clinical features to suggest IgG4RD were included.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Twenty patients had definite or probable IgG4RD and suggestive clinical features; median age 59 (20\u201376), male : female 1.5:1. There was considerable delay in diagnosis (median diagnosis at 64 months). Organ involvement included: 11 exocrine gland, seven pancreatobiliary, seven nodal, seven soft tissue, five retro\u2010orbital, three retroperitoneal fibrosis and two renal. Systemic symptoms at diagnosis were seen in eight patients. Seven (35%) had an elevated serum IgG<jats:sub>4<\/jats:sub> (&gt;1.35 g\/L) at diagnosis. Only 12 (60%) required immunosuppressive treatment (corticosteroids); of these, four (20%) required a steroid\u2010sparing agent and four (20%) required B\u2010cell depleting therapy (rituximab). The median duration of follow up was 18 months.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>This is the first characterised Australian cohort with generalised IgG4RD, a rare, relatively indolent and under\u2010recognised multisystem disorder. Diagnosis is difficult given lack of awareness of this rare condition among physicians, its presentation as a great disease mimic, challenges with histopathological assessment and the absence of a suitable serum biomarker.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/imj.14331","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,5,6]],"date-time":"2019-05-06T22:04:16Z","timestamp":1557180256000},"page":"1099-1104","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Immunoglobulin
