Abstract
A man presented with shortness of breath, and a globular heart was seen on a chest radiograph. An echocardiogram showed masses at the atrioventricular grooves. Computed tomography (CT) coronary angiography and fluorine-18 ((18)F) fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET)/CT confirmed coronary aneurysms with hypermetabolic perivascular masses at the coronary arteries and right internal iliac artery. Histologic features were highly suspicious for IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD). IgG4-RD is a recently recognized fibroinflammatory condition, and FDG-PET/CT can provide information about the disease pattern, which may suggest IgG4-RD, as well as the optimal biopsy site.Entities:
