IgG4-related pericardial involvement has rarely been reported and its clinical features remain unknown. We herein report a case of a 50-year-old woman with pericarditis who presented with a fever, elevated C-reactive protein levels, elevated serum IgG4 concentrations, and thickened pericardium with a patchy (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake. A biopsy specimen of (18)F-FDG accumulated in the mediastinal lymph nodes revealed an abundant infiltration of IgG4-bearing plasma cells without fibrosis. Moderate-dose glucocorticoids promptly resolved the physical, serological, and imaging abnormalities, thus indicating a relatively acute and reversible nature of IgG4-related pericardial involvement.
IgG4相关的心包受累鲜有报道,其临床特征尚不清楚。我们在此报告一例50岁患有心包炎的女性病例,该患者表现为发热、C反应蛋白水平升高、血清IgG4浓度升高以及心包增厚伴斑片状(18)F-氟脱氧葡萄糖(FDG)摄取。对纵隔淋巴结中积聚的(18)F-FDG进行活检,结果显示有大量含IgG4的浆细胞浸润但无纤维化。中等剂量的糖皮质激素迅速缓解了身体、血清学及影像学异常,这表明IgG4相关的心包受累具有相对急性且可逆的性质。
