Background

IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is an immune-mediated1 fibro-inflammatory condition1-3 that can involve multiple organ systems1-2. Diagnosis criteria are based on clinical, serological, radiological, histopathological features and response to corticosteroid therapy1-2, 4-7.

Obscure clinical presentations, diverse spectrum of imaging manifestations, overlapping features with infectious and neoplastic conditions1-2, 6-8 frequently constitute diagnostic challenges and potential delay in diagnosis.

High index of suspicion and awareness among radiologists is critical in achieving accurate and timely diagnosis, facilitating early initiation of immunosuppressive therapy1-2, 9, and therefore prevention of irreversible tissue fibrosis1, 3, 9 and organ damage9.
