A Case of Autoimmune Polyglandular Syndrome Type 3 Complicated with IgG4-related Disease.

A 52-year-old Japanese woman developed type 1 diabetes mellitus (type 1 DM) at 41 years old. She became complicated with Hashimoto's disease and showed swelling of both submandibular glands, which was diagnosed as IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD). This is a rare case of a Japanese patient with autoimmune polyglandular syndrome type 3A (APS-3A) coexisting with autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD) and type 1 DM complicated by IgG4-RD. Bilateral submandibular gland resection was successfully performed without steroid therapy. We discuss the possibility that the immunological pathogenic mechanisms of APS-3A and IgG4-RD are related.
