Isolated Conjunctival Inflammation Suggestive of IgG4-Related Disease

PURPOSE: In this interventional case report, we present the correlation between an isolated conjunctival inflammatory lesion and IgG4-related disease.

RESULTS: A 29-year-old female presented with a solitary conjunctival mass of the right eye. The rest of the ocular examination including orbital assessment was negative. Excisional biopsy was suggestive of IgG4-related disease. The patient was treated with oral steroids and remained disease free at 18 months of follow-up.

CONCLUSIONS: Isolated conjunctival inflammation without orbital involvement can be considered within the spectrum of IgG4-related disease.
