Abstract
IgG4-related kidney disease (IgG4-RKD) encompasses all forms of kidney disease that are part of IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD). First recognized as IgG4-related tubulointerstitial nephritis (IgG4-TIN), and then IgG4-related membranous glomerulonephritis (IgG4-MGN), we now recognize additional patterns of interstitial nephritis, glomerular disease, and vascular disease that can be seen as part of IgG4-RKD. The clinical presentation is variable and can include acute or chronic kidney injury, proteinuria or nephrotic syndrome, mass lesion(s), and obstruction. While usually associated with other organ involvement by IgG4-RD, kidney-alone involvement is present in approximately 20 % of IgG4-RKD. Compared to IgG4-RD overall, patients with IgG4-RKD are more likely to show increased serum IgG4 or IgG, and more likely to have hypocomplementemia. In this review, we extensively cover other types of autoimmune and plasma cell-rich interstitial nephritis, mass forming inflammatory diseases of the kidney, and other mimics of IgG4-TIN, in particular ANCA-associated disease.

Abstract
Autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) is recognized as the pancreatic manifestation of a systemic IgG4-related disease that can involve various organs, including the kidney. However, renal lesions tend to be overlooked when AIP is diagnosed, and the clinical characteristics and long-term prognosis of AIP with renal lesions are unclear. We retrospectively reviewed 153 patients with AIP diagnosed at our hospital with a median follow-up period of 41 months (interquartile range, 10–86) and classified them into two groups: the KD group (n = 17), with characteristic renal imaging features, and the non-KD group (n = 136). Serum IgG4 levels were significantly higher in the KD group (663 vs. 304.5 mg/dl, P = 0.014). No differences were observed between the two groups in terms of steroid treatment [14/17 (82.4%) vs. 112/136 (82.4%), P = 1] or in the number of patients who exhibited exacerbation of renal function during treatment [1/17 (5.9%) vs. 8/136 (5.9%), P = 1]. However, the cumulative relapse rate was significantly higher in the KD group [61% vs. 21.9% (3 years), P < 0.001]. Patients in the KD group had different clinical features with high relapse rates compared with those in the non-KD group, and thus, it is important to confirm the presence of renal lesions in AIP patients.

Abstract
Hematologic malignancies are relatively uncommon neoplasms of abdominal soft tissue. This article discusses the clinical and imaging features of pancreatic lymphoma, pancreatic extraosseous multiple myeloma, granulocytic sarcoma (chloroma), posttransplant lymphoproliferative disorder, and Castleman disease. The combination of imaging findings and the appropriate clinical presentation should allow the radiologist to raise a provisional diagnosis of hematologic malignancy.

Abstract
Immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4)-related kidney disease (IgG4-KD) has recently been demonstrated to be an important part of IgG4-related sclerosing disease (IgG4-SD). However, since IgG4-KD is still relatively unfamiliar to radiologists and physicians as compared to IgG4-SD involving other organs, it could, therefore, be easily missed. In this article, we present a comprehensive pictorial review of IgG4-KD with regards to the imaging spectrum, mimickers, and clinicopathologic characteristics, based on our clinical experience with 48 patients during the past 13 years, as well as a literature review. Awareness of the broad imaging spectrum of IgG4-KD and differential diagnosis from its mimickers will thus facilitate its early diagnosis and treatment.
