Immunoglobulin-G4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is a distinct group of diseases characterized by elevated serum IgG4 titres and infiltration of affected organs by IgG4-positive plasma cells. IgG4-RD can involve any ocular adnexal tissue. They have a distinct prognosis and pattern of tissue involvement and hence need to be differentiated from orbital lesions with similar clinicopathological features. We report three cases of IgG4-RD and review the literature extensively discussing various aspects of this novel entity.
免疫球蛋白 G4 相关疾病(IgG4-RD)是一组独特的疾病,其特征为血清 IgG4 滴度升高以及 IgG4 阳性浆细胞浸润受累器官。IgG4-RD 可累及任何眼附属器组织。它们具有独特的预后和组织受累模式,因此需要与具有相似临床病理特征的眼眶病变相鉴别。我们报告 3 例 IgG4-RD 病例,并广泛回顾文献,讨论这一新型疾病实体的各个方面。
