Vaginal mass: a rare manifestation of IgG4-related disease

Year: 2022

Type: article

Abstract: IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is a rare immune-mediated fibroinflammatory condition mostly presenting as tumor-like lesions with distinct histopathology. All ethnic groups can be affected with a slight male predominance.1 The initial description of IgG4-RD involved the pancreas, presenting as autoimmune pancreatitis.2 However, IgG4-RD can affect nearly any organ system. To date, there are few reports of genital organ involvement in IgG4-RD. Here we present a case of extensive infiltrative mass of the vagina as a rare manifestation of IgG4-RD.
