ABSTRACT
IgG4-related diseases are a recently recognized systemic syndrome characterized by mass-forming lesions, in mainly exocrine tissue, that consist of lymphoplasmacytic infiltrates and sclerosis, which may mimic malignant neoplasm due to clinical and imaging features. We report an unusual case of a 62-year-old woman who presented with a left orbital mass, which histologically revealed to be an IgG4-sclerosing disease.

Papillary haemangiomas were recently defined as morphologically distinct and benign cutaneous haemangiomas showing a predominantly intravascular capillary proliferation within dilated thin-walled dermal blood vessels. We describe the case of a 45-year-old woman who presented with multiple eruptive red-bluish raised papules and nodules distributed over the skin of the chin that were related to a papillary haemangioma.
