A Case of IgG4‐Related Disease That Mimics an Anterior Mediastinal Malignant Tumour
We describe a rare case of IgG4‐related disease presenting as an anterior mediastinal mass mimicking malignancy. This case demonstrates the importance of considering IgG4‐related disease in the differential diagnosis of mediastinal tumours, even when FDG‐PET shows abnormal accumulation and serum IgG4 levels are not particularly high.

This review explores how human tumour viruses manipulate the ubiquitination system to complete their life cycle, evade immunity and promote cancer.
