Descripción
Sumario:Immunoglobulin G4-related disease (IgG4-RD) of the ureter is a rarely reported disease, often mimicking urothelial carcinoma. This paper describes a case of an otherwise healthy patient with a lesion involving the ureter revealed on Computed tomography (CT), avid on fludeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG PET), that prior to surgery was suspicious for urothelial carcinoma, until intra-op frozen section revealed otherwise. Diagnosis of ureteral IgG4-RD should be considered as a differential diagnosis, with serum IgG4 levels obtained.
