ABSTRACT
IgG4-related diseases (IgG4-RDs) have recently been reported in many organs other than the salivary, pancreatic and hepatobiliary systems. A 64-year-old woman was referred to our department for her abdominal fullness and cardiomegaly on chest X-ray. After draining the pericardial fluid, her symptom promptly diminished, and pericardial friction rubbing became clearly audible. Elevated serum levels of IgG and IgG4 and ureteral wall thickening on computed tomography suggested IgG4-RD. After the initiation of oral corticosteroid therapy, the pericardial effusion was resolved, and she has been in a steady-state condition for the past two years.
