摘要
To the Editor: lmmunoglobulin G4 (IgG4)-related disease (IgG4-RD) is a multisystem autoimmune disorder that can involve the pancreas, liver, salivary gland, ocular adnexa, and other organs. More recently, IgG4-positve mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphomas have been described in ocular, thyroid, dura, and other tissues. It has remained unclear, however, whether IgG4-RD predisposes the patient to develop MALT lymphoma.
