“…The chronic inflammation and fibrosis often cause diffuse enlargement of affected tissues mimicking a neoplastic etiology. IgG4-ROD orbital manifestations include lacrimal gland enlargement, extraocular muscle enlargement and it most commonly presents as inflammation of orbital and scleral tissues, but is also a rare cause of uveitis [195][196][197][198][199][200][201][202].…”

Background Anterior uveitis, inflammation of the anterior chamber and related structures, is a cohort of diseases that can present to almost any general or sub-specialty Ophthalmology practice. Its features classically involve anterior chamber cell and flare. Below the surface of these two signs exist a panoply of diagnoses. Body The purpose of this review is to provide a general framework for diagnoses of anterior uveitis that are often missed as well as non-uveitic pathologies that often mimic anterior uveitis. Diagnostic deviation in either direction can have vision-threatening and rarely life-threatening consequences for patients. Using a comprehensive literature review we have collected a broad spectrum of etiologies of anterior uveitis that are easily missed and non-uveitic pathologies that can masquerade as anterior uveitis. Conclusions We present a focused review on specific misdiagnosed anterior uveitis pathologies and some of the conditions that can masquerade as anterior uveitis and scleritis.
