Sequential Evaluation of Pancreato-Biliary Findings in a Case with IgG4-Associated Cholangiopathy and Autoimmune Pancreatitis during Corticosteroid Treatment.
BACKGROUND Immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4)-associated diseases mostly involve the pancreaticobiliary tree and pancreatic parenchyma. This disease complex is characterized by marked response to corticosteroid therapy and response to steroids is incorporated in the diagnostic algorithm of IgG4 associated diseases. However, there is much unknown about the sequences and duration of healing during the cort...
متن کاملIgG4 negative sclerosing cholangitis associated with autoimmune pancreatitis.
BACKGROUND Sclerosing pancreatitis is an autoimmune condition characterized by periductal lymphocytic infiltration on histology, and elevated serum auto-antibodies and IgG4. Bile duct involvement is often associated with sclerosing pancreatitis but it is rarely the dominant feature. CASE REPORT We report a patient with dominant biliary stricture and obstructive jaundice associated with IgG4 n...
متن کاملA Case of Autoimmune Pancreatitis Manifested by a Pseudocyst and IgG4-Associated Cholangitis
Autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) is a benign disorder and a unique form of chronic pancreatitis with several characteristic features. A cystic formation that mimics a pseudocyst is a rare finding. There have been a few reports of AIP complicated by pancreatic cysts. We present a case of AIP with multiple pseudocysts and obstructive jaundice caused by IgG4-associated cholangitis. We initially misse...
متن کاملIgG4 Cholangiopathy
IgG4 cholangiopathy can involve any level of the biliary tree which exhibits sclerosing cholangitis or pseudotumorous hilar lesions. Most cases are associated with autoimmune pancreatitis, an important diagnostic clue. Without autoimmune pancreatitis, however, the diagnosis of IgG4-cholangiopathy is challenging. Indeed such cases have been treated surgically. IgG4-cholangiopathy should be diagn...
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...
