We describe to the best of our knowledge, the youngest patient in the published literature with IgG4-related hypophysitis presenting without pituitary insufficiency. A literature review identified only five cases of IgG4-related hypophysitis in adolescence. Serum IgG4 concentrations were normal in all, except one of the adolescent patients reported so far, and appear unhelpful in diagnosis in this age group.
