title: IgG4-related dacryoadenitis in a 13-year-old girl.
abstract: IgG4-related disease is a recently described fibroinflammatory condition, often with systemic involvement. Several authors have reported IgG4-related orbital inflammation in adults. Pediatric cases of IgG4-related disease have been reported in the literature involving other areas of the body, with only 1 recent report of probable orbital involvement. The first case of probable IgG4-related dacryoadenitis is reported in a child.
