Immunoglobulin G4‐related disease (Ig4RD) is an inflammatory condition with unique clinical, serological, and pathological features. In this study, we report a challenging diagnostic clinical case of Ig4RD diagnosed based on histopathology. This unique imitating nature reinforces that it is crucial to consider the diagnosis of IgG4‐RD in those presenting with pachymeningitis.
