A comparison of the features of fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) between IgG4-related disease with bilateral hilar lymphadenopathy and sarcoidosis.

In conclusion, significant differences were observed in the FDG accumulation patterns and SUVmax values of the hilar lymph nodes between IgG4-RD with BHL and sarcoidosis, although both diseases develop through the lymphatic routes of the lungs and are frequently associated with BHL.
