RESUMO
We describe a 74-year-old man with immunoglobulin G4-related disease (IgG4-RD) presenting with gastric cancer, stomach and kidney lesions. For 15 years, the patient had been treated under a diagnosis of sclerosing cholangitis, which was revealed to be IgG4-RD only when the cancer was found. Histology revealed the gastric cancer and IgG4-related lesion in the muscularis propria to be separate. This case suggests that the stomach muscle can also be a site of involvement of IgG4-RD.

A 74-year-old woman was referred to our hospital for a close examination. A gastrointestinal endoscopic examination revealed an advanced gastroesophageal junction cancer type 3, which was diagnosed as well-differentiated adenocarcinoma. Computed tomography(CT)showed liver and para-aortic lymph node metastases.She was treated with oral S-1 at 100mg/ day for 28 days, followed by a 14-day rest. After 3 courses of treatment, the primary tumor was greatly reduced. After 18 months of treatment, CT showed a complete response of the liver and also the para-aortic lymph node metastases. She is alive without severe adverse effects and recurrence 2.5 years after the start of S-1 administration.
