“…Abdominal ultrasonography may reveal low echoic lesions or parenchymal swelling, and contrast-enhanced CT frequently reveals isolated or multiple low-density lesions (7). On magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), renal masses demonstrate iso-or hypointensity on T1-weighted images and hypointensity on T2-weighted images, and demonstrate mild contrast enhancement following contrast medium administration (8). The present case was initially approached as renal cell carcinoma due to ultrasound, contrast-enhanced CT and PET-CT findings.…”

Abstract. IgG4-related disease is a recently recognized clinical entity. It is characterized by diffuse organ swelling or mass formation, a dense lymphoplasmacytic infiltrate rich in IgG4-positive plasma cells with fibrosis and typically an increased serum IgG4 concentration, which may affect various organs. An 80-year-old woman with an otherwise unremarkable previous medical history was revealed to have a renal mass that was indicative of renal malignant carcinoma, for which a radical nephrectomy was performed. The mass was diagnosed as an IgG4-related inflammatory pseudotumor, which was histopathologically confirmed. The patient is currently well without evidence of IgG4-related disease at 3 months post-surgery, and did not require any additional therapy.
