Article Synopsis
- IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is an immune condition that can cause tumor-like swelling in various organs, identifiable through physical exams and imaging.
- A case study describes a 38-year-old male with chronic pain, leg and scrotum swelling, skin lesions, and an enlarged, tender liver, ultimately revealing a large mass affecting the aorta and veins.
- A biopsy confirmed IgG4-RD, and the patient responded well to glucocorticoid treatment, leading to remission of the abdominal mass.
