Background:
The IgG4-related disease describes a new multisystem disorder, which can also be manifested in the orbit. This syndrome is characterized by a multifocal chronic fibroinflammation with high levels of plasma cells expressing IgG4.
Case Report:
This article reports the case of a patient with advanced bilateral tumors of the upper eyelid and orbit. The diagnosis of IgG4-related disease was only revealed after many years and after many biopsies of the tumors had been carried out. The initiation of a systemic steroid therapy led to a rapid reduction of the tumors and an improvement in the general condition of the patient.
