Immunoglobulin G4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is an immunemediated fibro-inflammatory condition that is characterized by extensive storiform fibrosis, obliterative phlebitis, thick lymphoplasmacytic infiltrates with a high percentage of IgG4-bearing plasma cells, and frequent tissue eosinophilia. 1 This disorder, which can affect practically any organ synchronously or metachronously, can result in the development of sclerotic masses of varying sizes.Differentiating IgG4-RD from other rheumatic diseases is challenging for clinicians. Currently, IgG4-RD is recognized as an important cause of idiopathic orbital inflammation (IOI) which must be differentiated from other pathologies that include Hodgkin's lymphoma and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, granulomatosis with polyangiitis (Wegener's), Graves' orbitopathy, and other conditions. [1][2][3][4] Their incidence was estimated at 4.7%-6.3% of all orbital diseases. 5 We report a case of multi-organ IgG4-RD revealed by an orbital IOI.
Agranulocytosis is a rare acute condition characterized by severe a < gft (neutropenia in which the neutrophils count is less than 100/mm

. It can be classified into two categories, inherited, and acquired. Acquired agranulocytosis is not commonly caused by auto‐immune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). We report a case of a patient suffering from agranulocytosis related to SLE at disease onset, associated with other rare disease involvements.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
