    • Immunoglobulin G4‐related disease (IgG4‐RD) is a recently described entity with protean manifestations. We describe a novel case of IgG4‐RD with hypergammaglobulinemic hyperviscosity responsive to fludarabine and rituximab. A 33‐year‐old Asian man developed bilateral lacrimal gland and submandibular salivary gland swelling with cervical lymphadenopathy. Biopsies of the affected tissues revealed reactive follicular hyperplasia. Seven years later, he presented with bilateral retinal hemorrhages… CONTINUE READING
