Abstract

Dacryoadenitis is unusual in children, and noninfectious causes can be manifestations of serious undiagnosed systemic conditions. This report brings further attention to this rarely-encountered condition and emphasizes its association with IgG4-related disease, a group of inflammatory disorders of high current interest whose spectrum of manifestations continues to evolve. The pediatric ophthalmologist could be in the position of identifying a patient's serious and previously unappreciated illness.
