AB  - IgG4-related  disease  (IgG4-RD)  is  a  fibroinflammatory  condition  characterized  by  a  tendency  to  form  tumefactive  lesions.  The  clinical  manifestations  of  this  disease,  however,  are  protean,  and  continue  to  be  defined.  IgG4-RD  has  now  been  described  in  virtually  every  organ  system.  Commonly  affected  organs  are  the  biliary  tree,  salivary  glands,  periorbital  tissues,  kidneys,  lungs,  lymph  nodes,  and  retroperitoneum.  In  addition,  IgG4-RD  involvement  of  the  meninges,  aorta,  prostate,  thyroid,  pericardium,  skin,  and  other  organs  is  well  described.  The  disease  is  believed  to  affect  the  brain  parenchyma,  the  joints,  the  bone  marrow,  and  the  bowel  mucosa  only  rarely  (if  ever).
