Two cases of immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4)-related hypophysitis diagnosed without pituitary biopsy
Background: Immunoglobulin G4-related hypophysitis (IgG4-RH) is a rare disease, diagnosis of which typically depends on histopathology following an invasive pituitary biopsy, possibly leading to permanent hypopituitarism.
