Immunoglobulin G4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is a systemic inflammatory condition that can manifest in atypical locations. We present the case of a middle-aged woman presenting with isolated IgG4-RD of left maxilla and nasal septum, confirmed with F-FDG PET/CT. She achieved complete metabolic response with multiple pharmacologic treatment, but 1 year later, she experienced local relapse, and FDG PET/CT found new additional lesions in humeral vasculature and lungs. This case illustrates the usefulness of FDG PET/CT for initial evaluation and monitoring of IgG4-RD with unusual nasomaxillary involvement.
免疫球蛋白 G4 相关疾病(IgG4-RD)是一种全身炎症性疾病,可在非典型部位表现出来。我们报告了一例中年女性,表现为左侧上颌骨和鼻中隔孤立性 IgG4-RD,FDG PET/CT 证实。她接受了多种药物治疗后达到完全代谢缓解,但 1 年后,她出现局部复发,FDG PET/CT 在肱血管和肺部发现新的附加病变。本病例说明了 FDG PET/CT 在初始评估和监测非典型鼻-上颌骨受累的 IgG4-RD 中的有用性。
