Immunoglobulin G4-related sclerosing disease presenting as a rare cause of renal pelvic mass mimicking malignancy

چکیده
Immunoglobulin G4-related sclerosing disease is a recently recognized disease entity most commonly associated with autoimmune pancreatitis. This condition can also manifest as extra-pancreatic disease involving the bile ducts, kidney, lung, and retroperitoneum. The disease entity consists of elevated serum IgG4 levels, extensive IgG4-positive plasma cells, and lymphocyte infiltration of the affected organs. We describe the clinical and radiographic presentation and pathologic findings in a patient with isolated renal involvement in IgG4-related sclerosing disease.

Immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4)-related disease is a novel disease entity that can involve diverse organs, causing specific diseases, including autoimmune pancreatitis, sclerosing cholangitis, cholecystitis, inflammatory aortic aneurysm, and inflammatory pseudotumor. IgG4-related disease is characterized by elevated serum IgG4 concentrations, abundant IgG4 lymphoplasmacytic infiltration, and dramatic ...
متن کاملSuspected idiopathic sclerosing orbital inflammation presenting as immunoglobulin G4-related disease: a case report
INTRODUCTION Idiopathic sclerosing orbital inflammation is a rare and ill-defined heterogeneous entity, and a distinct subset of orbital inflammation. Recently, attention has been focused on immunoglobulin G4-related disease complicated with fibrotic changes in some other organs with high serum immunoglobulin G4 levels. This report presents a case of suspected idiopathic sclerosing orbital infl...

INTRODUCTION It has been reported that immunoglobulin G4-related systemic disease can spread to nearly every organ, and often presents as an inflammatory mass or masses at those sites. In the kidney, this disease is often diagnosed after a radical or partial nephrectomy following the discovery of an inflammatory mass which is often suspected to be a malignant tumor. Here, we present a rare case...
متن کاملIgG4-related inflammatory pseudotumor of the renal pelvis involving renal parenchyma, mimicking malignancy
BACKGROUND IgG4-related disease is a recently recognized systemic disease characterized by storiform fibrosis with infiltration of IgG4-positive plasma cells. In rare incidences, IgG4-related renal disease can present as a solitary mass lesion at renal pelvis and can pose a diagnostic challenge since these lesions mimic malignancy. Herein, we present a rare case of IgG4-related disease presenti...
متن کاملImmunoglobulin G4-associated sclerosing cholangitis mimicking cholangiocarcinoma.
Immunoglobulin G4-related lymphoplasmacytic sclerosing disease is an emerging disease. Recently, it has been shown to be responsible for autoimmune pancreatitis-induced strictures of the bile duct mimicking cholangiocarcinoma. Making a diagnosis of immunoglobulin G4-associated sclerosing cholangitis requires a high index of suspicion. The differential diagnoses include primary sclerosing cholan...
