The involvement of salivary glands, previously called Mikulicz\u2019s disease, has been reclassified as IgG4-related sialadenitis (SA). The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of IgG4-SA in a cohort of Italian Caucasian patients presenting with xerostomia and to evaluate the eventual overlap between IgG4-SA and pSS.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Material and methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>We included 154 patients \u2013 15 males and 139 females, mean age 54.18 \u00b114.24 years, who underwent minor salivary gland biopsy between March and December 2019 for xerostomia. Histopathology was evaluated using Chisholm-Mason (CM) and focus score (FS) for pSS and immunohistochemical study with IgG4 staining for IgG4-SA were performed. Serum autoantibodies (anti-SSa\/RoAb, anti-SSB\/LaAb, antinuclear antibodies, rheumatoid factor) were also assessed.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>In 69 patients (44.8%) FS 0 was found, while FS \u2265 1 was presented in 85 (55.2%). Chisholm-Mason score &lt; 3 and CM \u2265 3 was found in 73 (47.4%) and 81 (52.6%) cases, respectively. IgG4\/high-power field level was 20 in 3 pSS patients (1.9%), but none of them had an IgG4\/IgG ratio \u2265 40, as well as tissue fibrosis with storiform pattern, obliterative vasculitis, and tissue eosinophilia. The diagnosis of pSS, was confirmed in 92 patients (59.74%). No patient was definitively diagnosed with an IgG4-related disease.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>In the case of xerostomia, the evaluation of the histopathological specimen for IgG4 should not be routinely performed, at least in an Italian-based Caucasian population. Moreover, immunohistochemistry should not be requested in the case of a negative result of biopsy for pSS.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.5114\/reum.2022.114207","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,9]],"date-time":"2022-03-09T14:39:03Z","timestamp":1646836743000},"page":"12-15","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Routine IgG4 staining in minor salivary gland biopsy in a cohort of Italian Caucasian patients suffering from xerostomia"],"prefix":"10.5114","volume":"60","author":[{"given":"Edoardo","family":"Conticini","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Roberto","family":"D\u2019Alessandro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Marco","family":"Bardelli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Paolo","family":"Falsetti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Stefano","family":"Gentileschi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Virginia","family":"Mancini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Luca","family":"Cantarini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Bruno","family":"Frediani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"3061","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref-784785","first-page":"724","article-title":"IgG4-related disease: a rheumatologist\u2019s perspective","volume":"32","author":"Soliotis F","year":"2014","unstructured":"Soliotis F, Mavragani CP, Plastiras SC, .
