<h3>Background</h3> According to 2009 Japanese nationwide survey of IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD), orbit is the leading site of affection [1]. However diagnostic criteria and nomenclature of IgG4-RD were developed a few years later [2,3]. <h3>Objectives</h3> To evaluate the peculiarities of clinical, laboratory, histological and immunohistochemical presentation of IgG4-related ophthalmic disease (IgG4-ROD). <h3>Methods</h3> During 2004 – 2016, 82 patients were diagnosed with IgG4-RD 53 of whom had IgG4-ROD (men – 17, women - 36). The diagnoses of IgG4-RD and IgG4-ROD were established using comprehensive diagnostic criteria [2,3]. In all patients full clinical, ophtalmological, dental and serological (rheumatoid factor, C-reactive protein, IgG, IgG4, IgM, IgA, ANA, anti-Ro/La, C3/C4 complement) examination was carried. In all cases diagnosis was verified pathomorphologicaly with immunohystochemical staining (anti-CD 138, CD 68, IgG, IgG4, κ-chain, λ-chain), but only in 43 patients the diagnosis of IgG4-RD was established on orbital tissues biopsy. Some patients at baseline were tested on B-cell clonality in tissue (on frozen tissue section or paraffin embedded) by PCR analysis of immunoglobulin V-D-J genes heavy chain rearrangements (FR1, FR2, FR3); monoclonal secretion was tested in serum protein electrophoresis. <h3>Results</h3> 40 patients with IgG4-ROD had orbital lesions at the onset of the disease and 13 developed them after 2 - 9 years from the onset. The frequency of different orbital anatomic structures involvement see in table 1. 15 (28%) patients had isolated orbital lesions while 38 (72%) had systemic IgG4-RD with simultaneous involvement of 2 - 7 other organs. 6 (14%) patients had unilateral orbital lesions. 23 (53%) patients with IgG4-ROD had associated IgG4-related sialoadenitis and nasal lesions. Most common pathomorphological features of IgG4-ROD see in table 2. The most common laboratory features of IgG4-ROD were elevation of: total serum IgG (44%), serum IgG4 (88%), serum IgE (61%) and monoclonal serum secretion (23%). <h3>Conclusions</h3> In our cohort of IgG4-RD patients orbit is the leading site of the disease (64.5% of patients) and the disease onset (75% of patients). The majority of patients have bilateral orbital lesions (89%) and systemic course of the disease with other organ involvement (72%). Most often affected orbital anatomicstructures are lacrimal glands, extraocular muscles, retrobulbar infiltration with optic nerve thickening and fibroinflammatory lesions of eyelids. MALT-lymphoma of lacrimal gland and local AL-amyloidosis can complicate the long history of IgG4-ROD. Monoclonal serum secretion and B-cell clonality in the tissue in 23% of patients can potentially act as a background for lymphoma formation. <h3>References</h3> Uchida K, Masamune A, Shimosegawa T et al.
