Abstract：IgG4 Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) and Riedel thyroiditis (RT) are the two main types of IgG4-related thyroiditis.IgG4 HT is associated with rapid progress, higher degree of fibrosis and higher risks of papillary thyroid carcinoma. RT is a rare chronic fibrosing disorder characterized by a hard, infiltrative lesion in the thyroid gland, which has been claimed to be part of a systemic IgG4-related disease. Clinical characteristics, updated diagnostic criteria and current standard of management for these two diseases will be discussed in this review.
