ABSTRACT
We report a middle-aged Japanese man who had a past history of malignant lymphoma with tubulointerstitial nephritis (TIN) presenting a high serum immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4) concentration and bilateral kidney enlargement and swelling of many lymph nodes. Although lymph node biopsy was not evident of a recurrence of lymphoma, kidney biopsy showed prominent infiltration of IgG4-positive plasma cells in a tubulointerstitial lesion but not in glomeruli. We made a diagnosis of IgG4-related TIN and lymphadenopathy; administration of oral prednisolone improved his physical and laboratory parameters. This is the first report of a case of IgG4-related TIN and lymphadenopathy after therapy for malignant lymphoma.
