Abstract
Chronic leg ulcer occurs in up to 13% of the general population and leads to economic and health care burdens. Approximately 20% of chronic nonhealing wounds are related to autoimmune diseases or vasculitis. Of these, chronic wounds associated with IgG4-related disease, a group of fibroinflammatory disorders that can have cutaneous and systemic involvement, are rarely reported. This case report describes a chronic leg ulcer associated with cutaneous IgG4-related disease. In addition to disease control with anti-inflammatory agents, following the principles of wound management and providing adjuvant wound treatment (eg, debridement, dressing, photobiomodulation therapy, or hyperbaric oxygen therapy) can promote the wound healing process.
期刊介绍：
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
