Аннотация
BACKGROUND: Gastric IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is rarely encountered in clinical practice, and especially more so among pediatric patients. To our knowledge, this is the first report of IgG4-RD presenting as a calcifying gastric mass in a child. We describe how this entity was difficult to differentiate from a gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) imaging-based approaches. Therefore, this case highlights the importance of considering IgG4-RD in the differential diagnosis of gastric tumor before performing surgical resection, especially to distinguish it from malignancy to avoid unnecessary surgery.
CASE SUMMARY: The patient suffered from epigastric pain for several days. Panendoscopy and computed tomography scan revealed a submucosal tumor. Differential diagnoses included GIST, leiomyoma, teratoma, and mucinous adenocarcinoma. However, laparoscopic proximal gastrectomy allowed for the definitive diagnosis of IgG4-related stomach disease.
CONCLUSION: We emphasize the importance of considering IgG4-RD in the differential diagnosis of gastric submucosal tumors before performing surgical resection.
