Introduction: VEXAS syndrome (vacuoles, E1 enzyme, X-linked, autoinflammatory, somatic), recently described, due to a somatic mutation of the UBA1 gene and often associated with hemopathy, is characterized by systemic symptoms close to those described in Still's disease or relapsing polychondritis. There are also patients with hemopathy, presenting inflammatory symptoms reminiscent of those of VEXAS syndrome but without mutation of the UBA1 gene.
Case/discussion: Two male patients consulted for general signs, dermatological symptoms, arthralgia, chondritis and venous thrombosis, like patients in the French cohort suffering from VEXAS syndrome.

Autoinflammatory disorders are characterized by dysregulated and disproportionately heightened response of innate immune system (IIS) to molecular patterns associated with damage and pathogens/microbes (DAMPs/PAMPs) with crucial role played by neutrophils and macrophages in disease pathogenesis. They closely resemble connective tissue diseases (CTDs). However, anti-nuclear antibodies (ANA), typically considered a marker of CTDs, are negative in autoinflammatory disorders.
