We report herein high-resolution computed tomography findings from a patient with IgG4-related pulmonary disease for the first time. The 61-year-old male patient complained of low-grade fever, dry mouth, and night sweats. He was diagnosed as having autoimmune pancreatitis, Sjögren syndrome, and elevated serum IgG4. High-resolution computed tomography of the lungs showed dense alveolar consolidation and air bronchograms in bilateral perihilar regions. IgG4-positive lymphoplasmacytes were detected in pulmonary lesions by immunostaining of biopsy samples. IgG4-related pulmonary disease can be associated with various radiologic findings.
我们首次在此报告一名IgG4相关性肺病患者的高分辨率计算机断层扫描结果。该61岁男性患者主诉低热、口干和盗汗。他被诊断患有自身免疫性胰腺炎、干燥综合征和血清IgG4升高。肺部高分辨率计算机断层扫描显示双侧肺门周围区域有致密的肺泡实变和空气支气管征。通过活检样本的免疫染色在肺部病变中检测到IgG4阳性淋巴细胞。IgG4相关性肺病可伴有各种放射学表现。
