| Description |
Angiocentric eosinophilic fibrosis (EAF) is an indolent, tumefactive variant of IgG4-related disease that rarely manifests as an orbital process. Diagnosis is based on clinical presentation with involvement of typical organs, subacute onset, and response to immunosuppressive therapy and classic histologic findings. Elevated serum IgG4 and plasmablast levels are supportive. Treatment includes steroids, surgical debulking or complete excision, and immunosuppression. IgG4-RD responds to treatment but incomplete responses and relapses are common. |
