A Case of an IgG4-Related Disease Mimicking Malignancy and Resolving With Steroids

A 77-year-old African American female was referred to oncology for evaluation of an adrenal fossa mass detected on computed tomography scan of the abdomen and pelvis (CT-scan A/P) that was ordered as a work-up for painless hematuria. Further evaluation by positron emission tomography (PET) scan show...

description A 77-year-old African American female was referred to oncology for evaluation of an adrenal fossa mass detected on computed tomography scan of the abdomen and pelvis (CT-scan A/P) that was ordered as a work-up for painless hematuria. Further evaluation by positron emission tomography (PET) scan showed hypermetabolic masses in the left suprarenal and right iliac region. The biopsy of the right iliac mass was consistent with IgG4-related disease (IgG4RD). It was supported by an elevated serum IgG4 level. She was treated with prednisone with a good response.
