A Case of IgG4‐Related Disease That Mimics an Anterior Mediastinal Malignant Tumour
Respirology Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 1, January 2026.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.
