摘要To the Editor:Immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4)-related disease (IgG4-RD) is a multisystem autoimmune disorder that can involve the pancreas,liver,salivary gland,ocular adnexa,and other organs.[1] More recently,IgG4-positve mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphomas have been described in ocular,thyroid,dura,and other tissues,[2] It has remained unclear,however,whether IgG4-RD predisposes the patient to develop MALT lymphoma.Here,an unusual case of IgG4-positive MALT lymphoma of the lacrimal gland with a 12-year history of benign inflammatory lesion is documented.A 56-year-old Chinese man presented to our Department of Ophthalmology with continuing slow exophthalmos of right eye going back 12 years.
