IgG4-RD are usually treated with glucocorticoids; however, in cases of a cardiac mass, life-threatening complications may occur and surgery is often needed. Combination therapy with glucocorticoids and rituximab may be effective even in patients with IgG4-RD and cardiac mass, which may avoid the need of invasive treatments, such as surgery.
