Differential Diagnosis of Immunoglobulin G4-associated Cholangitis From Cholangiocarcinoma
BACKGROUND AND AIM Immunoglobulin G4-associated cholangitis (IAC) shares many similar symptoms with cholangiocarcinoma (CCA). However, the treatment and the prognosis are substantially different. This study aimed to identify the important markers for the differential diagnosis of these 2 diseases. METHODS Thirty IAC patients and 275 CCA patients were reviewed retrospectively for their clinica...
متن کاملImmunoglobulin G4-associated sclerosing cholangitis mimicking cholangiocarcinoma.
Immunoglobulin G4-related lymphoplasmacytic sclerosing disease is an emerging disease. Recently, it has been shown to be responsible for autoimmune pancreatitis-induced strictures of the bile duct mimicking cholangiocarcinoma. Making a diagnosis of immunoglobulin G4-associated sclerosing cholangitis requires a high index of suspicion. The differential diagnoses include primary sclerosing cholan...
متن کاملDifferentiating Immunoglobulin G4-Related Sclerosing Cholangitis from Hilar Cholangiocarcinoma
BACKGROUND/AIMS Few studies have differentiated immunoglobulin G (IgG) 4-related sclerosing cholangitis (IgG4-SC) from hilar cholangiocarcinoma (CC). Thus, we sought to investigate useful features for differentiating IgG4-SC from hilar CC. METHODS We retrospectively compared clinical, serological, imaging, and histological features of six patients with IgG4-SC and 42 patients with hilar CC. ...
متن کاملSerum Immunoglobulin G4 and Immunoglobulin G1 for Distinguishing Immunoglobulin G4-Associated Cholangitis From Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis
UNLABELLED The recent addition of immunoglobulin (Ig)G4-associated cholangitis (IAC), also called IgG4-related sclerosing cholangitis (IRSC), to the spectrum of chronic cholangiopathies has created the clinical need for reliable methods to discriminate between IAC and the more common cholestatic entities, primary (PSC) and secondary sclerosing cholangitis. The current American Association for t...

SC) is a characteristic type of SC with increased serum IgG4 levels and dense infiltration of IgG4-positive plasma cells with extensive fibrosis in the bile duct wall.1 IgG4-SC is now recognized within the spectrum of systemic IgG4-related diseases. IgG4-SC is well resolved by steroid therapy, which is a characteristic feature of IgG4-related disease. IgG4-SC is frequently associated with type ...
