Hospital with a non-productive cough, pleural effusion and abnormal chest X-ray. He was a smoker with a 25-pack a year smoking history and a presumptive diagnosis of stage IV lung carcinoma was considered based on computed tomography (CT) findings (Fig. 1A - C).  Immunohistochemical staining for IgG4 demonstrated >50 IgG4-positive cells per high-power field, meeting the criteria for histology that was highly suggestive of IgG4-RD (Fig. 1D).
