Immunoglobulin G4-positive lymphoplasmacytic infiltration in a sarcoidal eyelid mass

A 62-year-old woman presented with a one month history of a hard, nonmobile subcutaneous mass along the right nasojugal fold. Hematological studies showed elevated serum immunoglobulin G4 levels. Histopathological examination of the biopsy sample disclosed immunoglobulin G4-positive lymphoplasmacytic infiltration with a storiform fibrosis, vein occlusion, and epithelioid granulomas with necrosis. Systemic review corresponded to a sarcoidosis. Without treatment, the eyelid mass did not recur six months after the excisional biopsy.
