AuntMinnie Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography-Computed Tomography Leads to Diagnosis of Immunoglobulin G4-Related Disease

A 61-year-old male underwent fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography-computed tomography (FDG PET-CT) for evaluation of fever and weight loss with clinical suspicion of occult malignancy or tuberculosis. The scan showed hypermetabolism in bilateral submandibular salivary glands, biliary radi...

description A 61-year-old male underwent fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography-computed tomography (FDG PET-CT) for evaluation of fever and weight loss with clinical suspicion of occult malignancy or tuberculosis. The scan showed hypermetabolism in bilateral submandibular salivary glands, biliary radicles, pancreas, bilateral kidneys, prostate, and multiple lymph nodes. Based on the concomitant involvement of these sites, suspicion of immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4)-related disease was raised in PET-CT report. Further evaluation with serum IgG4 levels and histopathology of the submandibular salivary gland confirmed the diagnosis of IgG4-related disease. The ability of FDG PET-CT to evaluate the whole-body status of disease played a crucial role in this case.
