A bilateral enlarged lacrimal gland with mild contrast enhancement was noted on computed tomography. Biopsy of the lacrimal gland showed lymphoplasmacytic infiltrate with focal hyaline and sclerotic change, and immunohistochemical staining revealed numerous IgG4-positive plasma cells, which was characteristic of IgG4 dacryoadentitis. Serum IgG and IgG4 levels were within normal range. The patient was treated with surgical excision instead of systemic steroid owing to poor tolerance. No tumor recurrence or systemic involvement was noted during the follow-up period. Our case highlights the importance of IgG4 dacryoadenitis in differentiating bilateral lacrimal gland inflammatory conditions. A normal serum IgG4 level does not rule out the diagnosis and surgical excision may be an alternative for those who are considered ineligible for corticosteroid treatment. © 2013. |
