IgG4-Related Sclerosing Cholangitis

Abstract

IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is a fibro-inflammatory disease that can involve essentially any organ simultaneously or metachronously [1]. It was first proposed as a systemic disease in 2003 by Kamisawa et al. following the recognition that a high percentage of patients with autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) had extrapancreatic manifestations that shared similar histopathological features consisting of dense infiltration of IgG4-positive plasma cells and lymphocytes and fibrosis [2].
