Abstract

Here we report a case with submandibular gland swelling occurred 11 years after tumor-forming pancreatitis that eventually led to the diagnosis of IgG4-related disease. Gallium scintigraphy showed abnormal uptakes in the submandibular gland, pancreas, kidney, and prostate. Imaging was useful for making a definitive diagnosis of IgG4-related disease.
