RESUMO
ABSTRACT: A 50-year-old woman presented a dry syndrome, joint pain, inflammatory syndrome, polyclonal hypergammaglobulinemia, and tubulointerstitial nephritis. Imaging studies (including FDG PET/CT) revealed infrarenal retroperitoneal fibrosis with periaortitis and hypermetabolic osteosclerotic lesions. Bone scintigraphy demonstrated intense uptake in the femoral, tibial, and radial regions, suggestive of non-Langerhans histiocytosis, specifically Erdheim-Chester disease. A bone biopsy confirmed the presence of IgG4-positive plasma cells but no histiocytes. The patient received corticosteroid therapy followed by rituximab, resulting in a complete response. This case suggests an atypical manifestation of bone lesions in IgG4-related disease, emphasizing the diagnostic challenge between IgG4-related disease and Erdheim-Chester disease.
