Immunoglobulin 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 کاملHilar cholangiocarcinoma associated with immunoglobulin G4‐positive plasma cells and elevated serum immunoglobulin G4 levels
Immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4)-related disease is a fibroinflammatory systemic disorder with multiorgan involvement. Proximal bile duct involvement results in IgG4-related sclerosing cholangitis, which is characterized by a lymphoplasmacytic infiltrate with abundant IgG4-positive plasma cells and fibrosis. Differentiating between cholangiocarcinoma and IgG4-sclerosing cholangitis can present a diagno...
متن کاملPathologic significance of immunoglobulin G4-positive plasma cells in extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma.
Immunoglobulin G4-related sclerosing cholangitis is histologically characterized by the infiltration of immunoglobulin G4-positive plasma cells and sclerosing change. Moreover, several cases of carcinoma accompanied by immunoglobulin G4-positive cells in tissue and increased serum immunoglobulin G4 levels have been reported, but the association between cancer-associated immunity and an immunogl...
متن کاملImmunoglobulin G4-associated cholangitis mimicking cholangiocarcinoma treated by laparoscopic choledochectomy with intracorporeal Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy
Immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4)-associated disease is a recently recognized disease entity that is characterized by elevated serum IgG4 concentrations, abundant IgG4 lymphoplasmacytic infiltration, and dramatic steroid responses. IgG4-associated cholangitis is one manifestation of IgG4-associated disease. However, it is clinically challenging to make a preoperative differentiation between this rare di...
متن کاملIgG4 Levels in Bile for Distinguishing IgG4-Associated Cholangiopathy from Other Biliary Disorders: A Single Blinded Pilot Study
BACKGROUND/AIMS Immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4)-associated cholangiopathy (IAC) is an inflammatory disease and may mimic primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), cholangiocarcinoma (CCA), or pancreatic cancer on cholangiography. We investigated whether IgG4 levels in bile aspirated during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) can distinguish IAC from PSC, CCA, and pancreatic cancer. MET...
