Immunoglobulin G4-related systemic sclerosing disease in a patient with sclerosing cholangitis, inflammatory pseudotumors of the lung and multiple radiological patterns: a case report
نویسندگان
چکیده
IgG4-related systemic sclerosing disease (IRSSD) is a new clinical entity that is characterized by elevated levels of serum IgG4; plasma cell infiltrates in tissues, including the pancreas, lung, liver, kidney and breast; and a good response to corticosteroid therapy. We report a case of a patient with sclerosing cholangitis and pulmonary inflammatory pseudotumors. The diagnosis was made twelve years after the onset of the initial symptoms. The aim of this report is to describe a case with different radiological patterns.

IgG4-associated cholangitis (IAC) is a recently defined disease entity which shares a number of clinical, biochemical, and radiological features with primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC). In contrast to PSC, IAC responds to immunosuppressive treatment, is not associated with inflammatory bowel disease, and mainly affects elderly men above the age of 60 years. Today, IAC is regarded as one varia...

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...
