Radiol Bras 2016;49(2):122-125 - CASE REPORT
We present a case of immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4)-related disease with pancreatic and extrapancreatic involvement, including the biliary and renal systems. Given the importance of imaging methods for the diagnosis of IgG4-related disease and its differentiation from pancreatic adenocarcinoma, we emphasize important abdominal computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging findings related to this recently recognized systemic autoimmune disease.
Keywords: Pancreatitis; Autoimmune diseases; Pancreas; Computed tomography; Magnetic resonance imaging.
