The recently recognized immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4)-related disease presenting as renal pelvic pseudotumor is rare. A definitive diagnosis is often difficult to obtain preoperatively, with patients being subjected to radical surgery due to suspicion of malignancy. We present a 64-year-old male with lower urinary tract symptoms, who, on evaluation had a right renal pelvic tumor on imaging and ureteroscopy. The patient underwent laparoscopic radical nephroureterectomy on clinical suspicion of upper tract urothelial carcinoma. The final histopathology revealed IgG4-related disease.
最近认识到的表现为肾盂假性肿瘤的免疫球蛋白G4(IgG4)相关疾病很罕见。术前往往难以做出明确诊断,患者因怀疑恶性肿瘤而接受根治性手术。我们报告一名64岁有下尿路症状的男性,经评估影像学和输尿管镜检查发现右肾盂肿瘤。临床怀疑为上尿路尿路上皮癌,该患者接受了腹腔镜根治性肾输尿管切除术。最终组织病理学检查显示为IgG4相关疾病。
