Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a myeloid neoplasm characterized by clonal neoplastic proliferation of Langerhans-type dendritic cells associated with an inflammatory infiltrate predominantly composed of lymphocytes and eosinophils. In this article, we present an unusual case of LCH with significant swelling in the left lacrimal sac region in a 3-year-old child, clinically mimicking acute dacryocystitis. Microscopically, it showed intense inflammatory infiltrate and histiocytes with irregular nuclei.

Dacryoadenitis is an inflammation of the lacrimal gland that may have various etiologies with similar presentations. Despite more recent elucidation of specific causes, the management has remained largely unchanged. Hence, the condition remains under biopsied with the rationale that empirical treatment with corticosteroids is effective for many of the causes.

Rhinosporidiosis is a chronic infection of the mucous membrane caused by the , which infects through transepithelial penetration. Although described worldwide, this entity is mostly found in the western hemisphere, afflicting young people, predominantly males, associated in many cases with recreational or professional contact with bath in ponds, rivers, or stagnant waters. The clinical features are varied depending on the affected membrane, in some cases mimicking other diseases postponing the correct diagnosis.

Objectives: The 2019 ACR/EULAR classification criteria for IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) have exclusion criteria including positive disease-specific autoantibodies, and these have been documented to have a high specificity. This study aimed to further validate these criteria as well as identify characteristics of patients showing false-negative results.
Methods: We retrospectively analysed 162 IgG4-RD patients and 130 mimickers.
