IgG4-Associated Adrenalitis-a Case Report

Wolfgang Saeger et al. Endocr Pathol. 2018 Sep.

Abstract

A 67-year-old man was adrenalectomized due to a tumor measuring 100 mm. Specimens revealed an inflammation with slight fibrosis and moderate infiltrates of lymphocytes and plasmacytes with immunoreactivity for IgG and IgG4 resulting in the diagnosis of an active IgG4-associated adrenalitis. To our knowledge, this is the first reported active adrenalitis of this type. It should be the precursor lesion of the adrenal calcifying fibrous tumor that was reported once before.

Keywords: Adrenal; Adrenalitis; Case report; IgG4-association.
