IgG4-related thyroid disease
MONDO:0018992
Riedel thyroiditis is a fibroinflammatory disorder of the thyroid gland, occurring more frequently in females, characterized a large, hard thyroid mass, and presenting with pressure symptoms (breathing difficulB,ties and dysphagia) or voice hoarseness and aphonia (impingement of recurrent laryngeal nerve). It can often be associated with extracervical fibroinflammatory disorders such as retroperitoneal fibrosis, primary scleroisng cholangitis and autoimmune diseases such as Hashimoto struma, Addison disease, and Biermer disease.

Riedel's thyroiditis
Riedel's thyroiditis (also known as invasive fibrous thyroiditis), is a chronic form of thyroiditis. It is now believed that Riedel's thyroiditis is one manifestation of a systemic disease that can affect many organ systems called IgG4-related disease. It is often a multi-organ disease affecting pancreas, liver, kidney, salivary and orbital tissues and retroperitoneal space. The hallmarks of the disease are fibrosis and infiltration by IgG4 secreting plasma cells.
