IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is an emerging immune-mediated chronic fibrotic disease characterized by tumour-like mass formation. Reports of brain parenchymal involvement in IgG4-RD are rare and complete treatment-related remission of lesions has never been reported. Here, we present a woman in her mid-50s who developed headache and seizures. Brain magnetic resonance imaging revealed frontal bilateral pachymeningitis and a left frontal lobe parenchymal lesion, and pathologic findings were consistent with an IgG4-RD central nervous system manifestation. She had a history of tumour-like growth around the right optic nerve, orbital and maxillary cavities treated successfully with corticosteroids 28 years ago, and was receiving infliximab as a maintenance therapy for uveitis for the last 14 years. After initial high-dose corticosteroid treatment, the patient was treated with rituximab, and after 3 months, the patient presented with complete remission of IgG4-RD lesions and associated symptoms. This case illustrates the chronic, decades-spanning nature of IgG4-RD, and a complete response to rituximab even with intracerebral mass lesions that had emerged despite the use of infliximab, a therapy previously reported successful in IgG4-RD.
