| 1 | Immunoglobulin G4-related gastrointestinal diseases, are they immunoglobulin G4-related diseases?显示文摘In immunoglobulin G4(IgG4)-related disease(RD),organ enlargement or nodular lesions consisting of abundant infiltration of lymphocytes and IgG4-positive plasma cells and fibrosis are seen in various organs.Although infiltration of many IgG4-positive plasma cells is detected in the gastric and colonic mucosa and major duodenal papilla of patients with autoimmune pancreatitis,it cannot be diagnosed as a gastrointestinal lesion involved in IgG4-RD,because none of the following is observed in these lesions:a mass-like formation;dense fibrosis;or obliterative phlebitis.Based on our review of the literature,there appear to be two types of IgG4-related gastrointestinal disease.One is a gastrointestinal lesion showing marked thickening of the wall of the esophagus and stomach,consisting of dense fibrosis with abundant infiltration of IgG4-positive plasma cells,which usually show submucosal spreading.The other is an IgG4-related pseudotumor occurring in gastrointestinal regions such as the stomach,colon,and major duodenal papilla,showing polypoid or mass-like lesions.Most solitary IgG4-related gastrointestinal lesions that are not associated with other IgG4-RD appear to be difficult to diagnose.It is of utmost importance to rule out malignancy.However,these lesions may respond to steroid therapy.To avoid unnecessary resection,IgG4-related gastrointestinal diseases should be considered in the differential diagnosis. | Satomi Koizumi Terumi Kamisawa Sawako Kuruma Taku Tabata Kazuro Chiba Susumu Iwasaki Yuka Endo Go Kuwata Koichi Koizumi Tooru Shimosegawa Kazuichi Okazaki Tsutomu Chiba | 2013 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2013，19，35： | 12 |
