Letter to the Editor: IgG4-Related Orbital Disease from a Rheumatologist’s Perspective
Abstract
This letter discusses the recently published case report titled “Understanding IgG4-Related Orbital Disease: A Rheumatologist’s Perspective” in the Osmangazi Journal of Medicine. The report highlights the diagnostic complexity and multidisciplinary management of IgG4-related disease. Key histopathologic features and MRI findings are emphasized, along with the therapeutic value of corticosteroids and steroid-sparing agents. Rituximab is underscored as a promising second-line therapy in refractory cases, while long-term follow-up is essential to detect relapse or lymphoma transformation.
