DEAR EDITOR, IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is characterized by infiltration of IgG4-positive plasma cells in various organs and elevation of serum IgG4. IgG4-RD manifests various skin changes including psoriasis-like rashes. 1 However, generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP) complicated by IgG4-RD has not been reported to date. We present two such cases below.In case 1, a 68-year-old Japanese woman who had been diagnosed with GPP in 1998 was referred to us following a recurrence of GPP in 2002. Physical examination revealed multiple fresh red erythemas and papules mixed with pustules on the trunk (Fig. 1a), which were histopathologically characterized by spongiform pustules of Kogoj. At the time of GPP onset, the patient had swelling of the eyelids and submandibular glands (Fig. 1b). Magnetic resonance imaging showed symmetrical swelling of the lacrimal glands (Fig. 1c), which led to the diagnosis of Mikulicz disease (MD). MD responded to oral prednisolone (PSL) at 30 mg daily (Fig. 1d). Thereafter, she developed hypergammaglobulinaemic purpura and membranous nephropathy (MN). She is currently free from adverse symptoms following the oral administration of etretinate at 10–20 mg daily and ciclosporin (CsA) at 75 mg daily for GPP, and PSL at 5 mg daily for MD and MN. Later, serum IgG4 was subsequently proven to be elevated (215 mg dL À1, normal range 4–108 mg dL À1).
