Immunoglobulin G4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is an immune-mediated disease with many important manifestations in hematopoietic and lymphoid tissue. IgG4 is the least naturally abundant IgG subclass, and the hallmark feature of IgG4-RD is markedly increased IgG4-positive plasma cells (with an IgG4 to IgG ratio >40%) in affected tissue, along with elevated polyclonal serum IgG and IgG4 in most patients. Histological diagnosis is essential, and other key features include storiform fibrosis, lymphoplasmacytic infiltrate, tissue eosinophilia, and obliterative phlebitis.

Synovial lipomatosis or lipoma arborescens is a very uncommon pseudo-tumorous lesion of the synovium which more commonly affects the knee joint. The most probable cause of this pathological lesion is degenerative articular disorders of the joint and improper fat accumulation. It is characterized by presence of villous proliferation of the synovium and replacement of the sub-synovial tissue by mature adipocytes which is infiltrated by dense chronic inflammatory cells like lymphocytes, plasma cells and eosinophils.

Due to the ability to mimic other pathologies, it is essential to consider it as a differential diagnosis in multisystemic processes. The diagnosis is challenging, requiring a multidisciplinary approach, to minimize the associated morbidity and mortality.
