IgG4-related hypophysitis is a rare, inflammatory process of the pituitary that mimics more commonly seen pituitary tumors. We report a case of IgG4-related hypophysitis in a 16-year-old female with diabetes insipidus who was found to have IgG4-related hypophysitis based on tissue diagnosis. This entity has not been previously described in a pediatric patient. Recognition of certain inflammatory processes of the pituitary may lead to alternative means of diagnosis and medical management without a biopsy.
IgG4相关性垂体炎是一种罕见的垂体炎症性疾病，可模仿更常见的垂体肿瘤。我们报告一例16岁患有尿崩症的女性IgG4相关性垂体炎病例，该病例经组织诊断确诊。此前尚未有儿科患者患此病的报道。认识到垂体的某些炎症过程可能会带来无需活检的其他诊断方法和药物治疗手段。
