ABSTRACT
Immunoglobulin (Ig) G4-related disease was recently recognized as a systemic fibro-inflammatory disease characterized by dense lymphoplasmacytic infiltrates, storiform fibrosis, and obliterative phlebitis with IgG4-positive cells in the target tissues. This disease can localize to a single organ or be diffuse in multiple organs. Pulmonary manifestation in IgG4-related lung disease presents as various sized nodules, lung masses, patchy ground-glass opacities, consolidation, thickened bronchovascular bundles, nodular pleural lesions, and interstitial lung disease. Traditional treatment for IgG4-related lung disease includes systemic (cortico) steroids. Here, we report a case of IgG4-related lung disease presenting as multiple cavitary nodules that spontaneously regressed without systemic steroid use.
