We report a case of Mikulicz’s disease (MD), an immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4)-related disease that affects the lacrimal and salivary glands. IgG4-related disease is a relatively new clinical entity, and not commonly encountered by neurosurgeons. MD sometimes mimics intraorbital tumors such as malignant lymphoma, but responds well to corticosteroid treatment. Thus, it is important

to recognize the clinical and radiographic features of MD.
A 68-year-old woman presented with bilateral swelling of her upper eyelids and difficulty opening her eyes. Physical examination showed bilateral palpebral swelling, but impairment of ocular movement and double vision were not described. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed marked symmetric enlargement of the bilateral lacrimal glands with hypointensities on T1-weighted images (Fig. A, B), and isointensities on T2-weighted fat-saturated images (Fig. C, D). Laboratory data showed an elevated serum immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4) level of 595 mg/dl (normal range, 4–108 mg/dl), and no elevation of tumor markers. Thus, a diagnosis of Mikulicz’s disease (MD) was made. MD is an IgG4-related disease that affects the lacrimal and salivary glands, and responds well to corticosteroid treatment. After 8 weeks of treatment with prednisolone, serum IgG4 levels were decreased, and MRI showed marked improvement of the
