ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is an immune-mediated systemic inflammatory fibrotic disease, which is a relatively rare and novel disease that can involve multiple organs or tissues, with variable clinical manifestations, and for which pulmonary involvement has been reported relatively infrequently.METHODS:
Here we report a case of pulmonary infection that was initially suspected and received anti-inflammatory treatment, but the symptoms did not improve. CT examination indicated progression of the pulmonary lesion, and the nature of the lesion could not be determined by tracheoscopy and bronchoalveolar lavage. The diagnosis of IgG4 related lung disease (IgG4-RLD) was confirmed by percutaneous lung biopsy. A joint literature analysis was conducted to improve clinicians' understanding of this disease.RESULTS:
The patient's history, symptoms, signs and relevant examination results were analyzed. The final diagnosis was IgG4-RLD.CONCLUSIONS:
When the clinical symptoms and imaging manifestations of the patients are consistent with IgG4-RLD, pathological examination can be appropriately performed to clarify the nature of the lesions. More consideration should be given to the possibility of disease diagnosis to avoid misdiagnosis and underdiagnosis, and proper treatment should be given at an early stage.
