A 61-year-old man was admitted to the hospital with an atypical pain lumbar with oligoanuria. Other comorbidities were: arterial hypertension, diabetes mellitus and smoking .On examination the patient was comfortable at rest, with a heart rate of 89 b.p.m. and a blood pressure of 147/2 mmHg. Normal S1 and S2 heart sounds were present. There were no signs of heart failure present. Patients complained of pain in hypogastrium on palpation. Creatinine 2.33 mg / dL. PCR 72. The immunological studies were normal (including IgG and IgA serological levels, antinuclear antibodies, extractable nuclear antigens, anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies. An Body CT was performed, it shows mass that includes the ureters as well as the iliac arteries and parietal thickening in aorta wall. The positron emission tomography–computed tomography (PET CT) scans was performed that evidences pathological hypermetabolism that surrounds both primitive iliac arteries with maximum SUV 12 g / ml. Pathological hypermetabolism in ascending aorta until reaching arch with maximum SUV of 9.1 mg / ml compatible with periaortitis in the ascending aorta. A study was completed with retroperitoneal mass biopsy that showed areas of retroperitoneal fibrosis with predominantly lymphoplasmacytic areas. IgG4 / IgG&amp;gt; 40% , Obliterative involvement of small venules suggestive of IgG4 disease. A transthoracic echocardiogram was performed which showed normal biventricular function, absence of significant valvular disease and thickening of the aortic wall compatible with periaortitis. The patient started glucocorticoid therapy with favorable response. A PET CT control was performed that showed disappearing retroperitoneal masses around iliac vessels and disappearance of activity in lateral wall of aorta and decrease activity about ascendent aorta. DIAGNOSIS : IgG4 -related aortitis Abstract P273 Figure.
