Ultrasonography of IgG4 related diseases involving multiple systems: a five-year follow-up case report
IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD), a chronic fibrosing systemic disease, is usually misdiagnosed as a tumor due to its mass-like lesions. This case reports a patient diagnosed with IgG4-RD in 2019, characterized by elevated serum IgG4, impaired liver/kidney function, decreased complement, interstitial lung changes, bile duct narrowing, enlarged kidneys, and swollen submandibular/thyroid glands. The patient initially achieved remission with glucocorticoid therapy, but after 5 years, in 2024, the patient's condition worsened, and PET/CT showed a pancreatic mass and enlarged lymph nodes. Ultrasound-guided biopsy confirmed the patient had IgG4-related autoimmune pancreatitis, not cancer. This case illustrates the critical role of ultrasound imaging in disease detection and treatment monitoring of IgG4-RD during long-term follow-up.
