| Core Tip |
Immunoglobin G4 (IgG4)-related hypophysitis (IgG4-RH) is a rare form of IgG4-related disease, which is easily misdiagnosed as a pituitary tumor. IgG4-RH commonly occurs in middle-aged and older men and is characterized by hypointensity on T2-weighted imaging and homogeneous and obvious enhancement on gadolinium contrast-enhanced T1-weighted imaging, accompanied by hypopituitarism. The imaging findings help to differentiate it from pituitary tumors. An elevated serum IgG4 level is the main clue to the diagnosis of IgG4-RH, and imaging, histopathology, or response to glucocorticoid therapy can be used to confirm the diagnosis. |
