Combined skin and biliary tract involvement in IgG4-RD has not been described. We present perhaps the most comprehensive analysis of lymphocyte subsets in the first case of IgG4-related generalized skin rash and first case of combined skin and biliary tract manifestations. A 55-year-old male presented with painful jaundice and generalized macular pigmented pruritic eruptions, and CT abdomen revealed biliary obstruction. Ampulla and skin biopsies were subjected to histology and immunostaining. Na\u00efve, central memory (TCM), effector memory (TEM), terminally differentiated effector memory (TEMRA) subsets of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, T follicular helper subsets, na\u00efve, transitional, marginal zone (MZ), germinal center (GC), IgM memory, and class-switched memory (CSM) B cells, and T follicular regulatory, regulatory B cells, CD4 Treg, and CD8 Treg were analyzed. Serum IgG4 was elevated at 448 mg\/dL. Ampula biopsy showed lamina propria fibrosis and increased IgG4-positive plasma cells. Skin punch biopsy showed lymphoplasmacytic infiltrates with a 67% ratio of IgG4+:IgG+ plasma cells. CD4+TN and CD4+TCM decreased, whereas CD4+TEM increased. Na\u00efve B cells increased; transitional, MZ, CSM, GC B cells, and plasmablasts decreased compared to control. CD4 Treg increased, whereas CD8 Treg and Breg decreased. In conclusion, IgG-RD may present with combined biliary tract and generalized dermatological manifestations. Changes in regulatory lymphocytes suggest their role in the pathogenesis of IgG4-RD.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/dermatopathology11030023","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,16]],"date-time":"2024-07-16T11:31:57Z","timestamp":1721129517000},"page":"218-229","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["IgG4-Related Disease (IgG4-RD) with Unique Combined Generalized Skin Rashes and Biliary Tract Manifestation: A Comprehensive Immunological Analysis"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Ye La","family":"Jung","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Program in Primary Immunodeficiencies, Division of Basic and Clinical Immunology, University of California at Irvine, Irvine, CA 92697, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sudhanshu","family":"Agrawal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Program in Primary Immunodeficiencies, Division of Basic and Clinical Immunology, University of California at Irvine, Irvine, CA 92697, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Beverly","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, University of California, Irvine, CA 92868, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7422-1453","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sudhir","family":"Gupta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Program in Primary Immunodeficiencies, Division of Basic and Clinical Immunology, University of California at Irvine, Irvine, CA 92697, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"529","DOI":"10.1080\/14397595.2020.1859710","article-title":"The 2020 revised comprehensive diagnostic (RCD) criteria for IgG4-RD","volume":"31","author":"Umehara","year":"2021","journal-title":"Mod.
