IgG4-related disease is a newly recognized systemic disorder that can involve almost any organ. The imaging findings consist of diffuse and focal organ infiltration by fibroinflammatory tissue, mimicking a neoplastic process. It is important to recognize the multiorgan involvent of this disease and be familiar with its imaging features, in order to avoid unnecessary surgical procedures.
The purposes of this exhibit are:
- To provide a practical review of the spectrum of imaging findings in patient with IgG4-related disease.
- To emphasize its systemic nature and the continuously growing list of extrapancreatic manifestations.
- To address the differential diagnosis with other inflammatory or neoplastic processes
