	<span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">Background:</span><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> IgG4-related disease is a systemic lymphoproliferative syndrome that shows
IgG4-producing plasma cell expansion in affected organs with fibrotic or
sclerotic changes. The lacrimal glands, salivary glands and pancreas are
typically affected. We report a case of IgG4-related disease presenting a soft
tissue tumor affecting skeletal muscle</span><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">. </span><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">Case Report:</span><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> A 32</span><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">-</span><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">year</span><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">-</span><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">old man presented a soft tissue mass
in his left arm. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a spindle like, peripheral
mass, in the lateral head of the triceps of his left arm. Tru-Cut Biopsy
provided the diagnosis of IgG4-related disease affecting skeletal muscle.
Glucocorticoid treatment was effective.</span><span lang=\"EN-US\"> </span><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">Conclusion:</span><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> To our knowledge</span><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">,</span><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> this is the first reported case of IgG4-related disease
affecting skeletal muscle and presenting a soft tissue mass.</span>
