Atherosclerosis is the most common cause of coronary aneurysms in adults. However, cardiologists should be aware of atypical causes like IgG4-related disease that can even present with acute coronary syndrome. Although multimodality imaging is beneficial during early evaluation, histopathological analysis is the cornerstone for the diagnosis of IgG4-related disease. The management involves both immunosuppressive medication and endovascular or surgical repair.
