    <abstract locale="en_US">IgG4- related disease is a systemic fibroinflammatory syndrome characterized by tumefactive enlargement of&#xA0; affected organ , diffuse lymphoplasma cells infiltration with a large number of&#xA0; IgG4 producing plasma cells and&#xA0; sclerotic changes. The most commonly involved&#xA0; organs are pancreas, lacrimal and salivary glands. Patients show good&#xA0; response to glucocorticoid therapy and despite its relapsing and remitting course, patients have good prognosis. We report an unusual presentation of IgG4- related&#xA0; disease manifested as isolated soft tissue mass of hand which is an extremely rare manifestation of this disorder.</abstract>
