Abstract

Since its first introduction in 2003 by Kamisawa et al., IgG4-related disease has gained wide interest in the imaging community, and several manuscripts have been published regarding its imaging features. In addition to initial observations in the pancreaticobiliary system, it is now well known that the disease may involve every organ system in the body. There is not much information in the imaging literature about the involvement of mesentery, omentum, and peritoneum in this disease. This article aims to provide more information about the imaging findings of IgG4-related disease regarding these areas by making radiopathological correlations and discussing the possible differential diagnoses.
