Abstract
- Immunoglobulin G4-related disease (IgG4-RD) with multisystem involvement is known to mimic various malignancies and can be diagnosed with high clinical suspicion. We hereby report an atypical case of IgG4-RD, who presented as an inflammatory pseudotumor resembling gall bladder malignancy with hepatic, omental, and subcutaneous involvement. The characteristic tracer uptake pattern described on FDG PET/CT may not be always present in IgG4-RD, especially in the setting of postabdominal surgery. FDG PET/CT revealed the disease progression despite glucocorticoids and aided in response evaluation after second-line drug, rituximab.
