ABSTRACT
A 65-year-old man with multiple lymphadenopathies was diagnosed with IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) based on findings of a cervical lymph node biopsy and an elevated serum IgG4 level. Treatment was initiated after the onset of autoimmune pancreatitis, and he achieved remission. He developed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma one year later. Pericardial involvement of lymphoma resulted in cardiac tamponade, and he died before histopathological confirmation of lymphoma was made due to a lethal arrhythmia caused by massive involvement of lymphoma into the myocardium. Because patients with IgG4-RD might have an increased risk of malignant diseases, including lymphoma, histopathological examinations should be considered at any time during the course of IgG4-RD.
