Abstract

Immunoglobulin (Ig)G4-related disease is a systemic fibroinflammatory disease characterized by dense infiltration of IgG4-positive plasma cells in the affected tissue(s) with or without elevated plasma levels of IgG4. Hypophysitis itself is a very rare disease with reported prevalence in the operative specimens are around 0.2-0.88%. IgG4-related hypophysitis (IgG4-RH) may account for a substantial percentage of cases previously regarded as idiopathic hypophysitis.
