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.

Bu editöre mektup, Osmangazi Tıp Dergisi’nde yayımlanan “IgG4 İlişkili Orbital Hastalık: Romatoloji Perspektifinden” başlıklı olgu sunumuna ilişkin görüşleri içermektedir. Çalışma, IgG4 ilişkili hastalığın tanısal güçlüklerini ve multidisipliner yönetim gerekliliğini vurgulamaktadır. Histopatolojik doğrulama, MRG bulguları ve kortikosteroid tedavisine yanıt süreci dikkatle tartışılmıştır. Ayrıca, rituksimab gibi B-hücre hedefli tedavilerin dirençli olgularda umut verici seçenekler sunduğu ve lenfoma gelişimi açısından uzun dönem izlem gerekliliği belirtilmiştir.
