A Case of Sclerosing Mesenteritis Mimicking IgG4-related Disease.

A Case of Sclerosing Mesenteritis Mimicking IgG4-related Disease. Intern Med. 2019 Nov 08;: Authors: Fukuda M, Miyake T, Matsubara A, Ikai N, Tanaka E, Namura T, Wada Y, Noujima M, Moritani S, Murakami K, Andoh A, Tani M, Kushima R Abstract A 72-year-old man was followed as an outpatient at our hospital for 6 years after surgery for small cell carcinoma of left adrenal gland origin. Follow-up abdominal computed tomography showed a 6-cm mass in the left lower mesentery. The patient underwent open laparotomy. The histological diagnosis was sclerosing mesenteritis. The previous specimens of the left adrenal mass were then re-examined with a microscope, and panniculitis was found around the small cell carcinoma. Both lesions were histologically similar to IgG4-related disease, but they did not completely meet the diagnostic criteria of IgG4-related disease clinically or histologically.
