Abstract

Orbital inflammatory pseudotumor is a rare complication of systemic lupus erythematosus. It may present a challenge for differential diagnosis, especially in the context of treatment with hydroxychloroquine, although dosage and duration of the treatment may guide us. Although high antibody titers can be found, this is not specific.
