<title>Full Text</title>
<p>IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) or IgG4 syndrome is a chronic inflammatory  condition of presumed autoimmune etiology, affecting mainly men in their sixth decade  of life. It has a good prognosis following instituted treatment and is characterized by  infiltration of IgG4 + plasma cells, predominantly in the pancreas, bile duct, lymph  nodes, kidneys, retroperitoneum, lungs and salivary, parotid, submandibular and  lacrimal glands. Skin manifestations of IgG4 syndrome are uncommon but should be  known to the dermatologist. This report details a rare case of IgG4 syndrome involving  cutaneous and lymph nodes. A 53-year-old woman described a 15-year history of erythematous and pruritic  papulo-nodular lesions, mostly in photoexposed areas of the face, neck and upper  limbs. She explained that the lesions evolved with ulceration, healing and residual  dyschromia. Furthermore, she reported relapsing lymphadenomegaly 2 years ago,  primarily in the cervical, axillary and inguinal chains.</p>
