IgG4 related hypophysitis (IgG4 RH) is a rare infiltrative cause of hypopituitarism, and if not recognized and treated promptly, can lead to pituitary fibrosis and atrophy. The diagnosis mainly depends on pituitary biopsy that could potentially cause permanent hypopituitarism. We report an atypical case in which meticulous biochemical workup and imaging lead to prompt management, leading to complete resolution of symptoms without the need for an invasive procedure.
