      IgG4-related disease is a newly recognized fibro-inflammatory condition characterized by several features: a tendency to form tumefactive lesions in multiple sites; a characteristic histopathological appearance; and—often ...
    • Effect of Tumor Characteristics and Duplication of the Muscularis Mucosae on the Endoscopic Staging of Superficial Barrett Esophagus-related Neoplasia 

      Mandal, Rajni V.; Forcione, David G.; Brugge, William Robert; Nishioka, Norman Shizuaki; Mino-Kenudson, Mari; Lauwers, Gregory Y. (Ovid Technologies (Wolters Kluwer Health), 2009)
      Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) is being advocated as a diagnostic, staging, and therapeutic technique for the management of Barrett esophagus (BE)-related neoplasia. With the emergence of new endoluminal therapy including ...
    • En bloc esophageal mucosectomy for concentric circumferential mucosal resection (with video) 

      Willingham, Field F.; Gee, Denise W.; Sylla, Patricia; Lauwers, Gregory Y.; Rattner, David William; Brugge, William Robert (Elsevier BV, 2009)
      Background: With conventional EMR, specimens are fragmented, metaplasia may be left behind, and invasive lesions could be missed because of incomplete sampling. Concentric subtotal esophageal mucosectomy would address these ...
    • Gastric Hyperplastic Polyps: A Heterogeneous Clinicopathologic Group Including a Distinct Subset Best Categorized as Mucosal Prolapse Polyp 

      Gonzalez-Obeso, Elvira; Fujita, Hiroshi; Deshpande, Vikram; Ogawa, Fumihiro; Lisovsky, Mikhail; Genevay, Muriel; Grzyb, Krzysztof; Brugge, William Robert; Lennerz, Jochen K.; Shimizu, Michio; Srivastava, Amitabh; Lauwers, Gregory Y. (Ovid Technologies (Wolters Kluwer Health), 2011)
      BACKGROUND: Gastric hyperplastic polyps are the second most common subtype of gastric polyps. There has been an ongoing debate about their precise diagnostic criteria and etiological associations. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A ...
    • IgG4+ to IgG+ Plasma Cells Ratio of Ampulla Can Help Differentiate Autoimmune Pancreatitis From Other “Mass Forming” Pancreatic Lesions 

      Sepehr, Alireza; Mino-Kenudson, Mari; Ogawa, Fumihiro; Brugge, William Robert; Deshpande, Vikram; Lauwers, Gregory Y. (Ovid Technologies (Wolters Kluwer Health), 2008)
      Autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) shows a unique spectrum of histologic features and commonly presents with an abundant IgG4-positive (IgG4+) plasma cell infiltration. However, differentiating AIP from other mass lesions, ...
