Multi-Organ Involvement of an Immunoglobulin G4-Related Inflammatory Pseudotumor of the Urogenital Tract: A Case Report

Inflammatory pseudotumor (IPT) is a rare solid tumor of unknown etiology that can arise in most organs. IPT usually presents as a single, benign lesion. In the urogenital tract, IPT frequently occurs in the bladder, but in rare instances, IPT may originate in the kidney, prostate, or ureter. We desc...

Description
Summary:Inflammatory pseudotumor (IPT) is a rare solid tumor of unknown etiology that can arise in most organs. IPT usually presents as a single, benign lesion. In the urogenital tract, IPT frequently occurs in the bladder, but in rare instances, IPT may originate in the kidney, prostate, or ureter. We describe a highly unusual case of multi-organ IPT that included the periureteral area, paravesical space, and prostate. The diagnosis was confirmed by computed tomography imaging, and by pathology testing that detected prominent immunoglobulin G4-positive plasma cells. KCI Citation Count: 0
