Objectives: The aims of this study were to describe the frequency of pleuropulmonary computed tomography (CT) findings in patients with IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) and to compare clinical and laboratory characteristics between patients with and without pleuropulmonary involvement in chest CT.
Methods: This is a study conducted within the IgG4-RD study group of the Argentine Society of Rheumatology (GESAR IgG4) cohort of patients with IgG4-RD. Member centers of the group were requested to submit pulmonary CT scans of the patients.

We report a case of a 73-year-old man with minimally invasive lung adenocarcinoma, post-resection, evaluated with F-FDG PET/CT for suspected disease progression. Imaging showed increased FDG uptake in the right lower lung mass and systemic lymphadenopathy (mediastinal, supraclavicular, axillary, paraaortic, and iliac regions). The appearance of a stable lymph node and a clinical history of IgG4 lymphadenopathy suggested an inflammatory process, although malignancy in the lung mass and mediastinal nodes could not be excluded.

Clinically, it may resemble malignant disease, making diagnosis difficult and requiring a multidisciplinary team (gastroenterologist, endoscopist, radiologist, surgeon, pathologist). Two types of AIP are distinguished.

Purposes: Immunoglobulin G4-related disease (IgG4-RD) and plasma cell-type idiopathic multicentric Castleman disease (PC-iMCD) have many overlapping features. Their differential diagnosis is challenging and crucial for clinical management due to their different prognoses and treatments. However, reports that compare these conditions are scarce, especially for patients with lung involvement.

BACKGROUND IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is a systemic fibro-inflammatory disease potentially affecting every part of the human body. Because of variability in clinical presentation, IgG4-RD can be challenging to diagnose. Untreated disease can lead to irreversible organ damage such as fibrosis.
