Unilateral orbital mass as an unusual presentation of IgG4-related disease

S Rammeh et al. Neurochirurgie. 2016 Feb.

Abstract

IgG4-related diseases are a recently recognized systemic syndrome characterized by mass-forming lesions, in mainly exocrine tissue, that consist of lymphoplasmacytic infiltrates and sclerosis, which may mimic malignant neoplasm due to clinical and imaging features. We report an unusual case of a 62-year-old woman who presented with a left orbital mass, which histologically revealed to be an IgG4-sclerosing disease.

Keywords: IgG4-related disease; Maladie à IgG4; Orbit; Orbite; Tumeur; Tumor.
