Immunoglobulin G4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is an increasingly recognized systemic condition characterized by particular clinical, serologic, and pathologic features that are consistent across a wide range of organ systems. Herein, we present a rare case of IgG4-RD presenting as multiple inflammatory pseudotumors involving the kidney and other organs involvement mimicking urothelial cell carcinoma with liver, lymph node and lung metastasis. The final diagnosis was made based on characteristic histopathological finding and analysis of IgG4 immunostaining that can distinguish from other conditions. Greater awareness of this disease is needed to ensure diagnoses, which can prevent unnecessary surgical intervention.
免疫球蛋白G4相关疾病(IgG4-RD)是一种越来越受到认可的全身性疾病,其特征在于特定的临床、血清学和病理学特征,这些特征在广泛的器官系统中是一致的。在此,我们报告一例罕见的IgG4-RD病例,表现为多个炎性假瘤累及肾脏,并伴有其他器官受累,酷似伴有肝、淋巴结和肺转移的尿路上皮细胞癌。最终诊断基于特征性组织病理学发现和IgG4免疫染色分析,该分析可与其他疾病相鉴别。需要提高对这种疾病的认识以确保诊断准确,从而避免不必要的手术干预。
