IgG4-associated cholangitis: a comparative histological and immunophenotypic study with primary sclerosing cholangitis on liver biopsy material
(Springer Nature, 2009)
IgG4-associated cholangitis is a steroid-responsive hepatobiliary inflammatory condition associated with autoimmune pancreatitis that clinically and radiologically mimics primary sclerosing cholangitis. In this study, we ...
Autoimmune pancreatitis-related cholecystitis: a morphologically and immunologically distinctive form of lymphoplasmacytic sclerosing cholecystitis
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2009)
Aims: Gallbladder involvement in autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) is reported to be histologically similar to that seen in primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) and biliary obstruction secondary to pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma ...
Does Autoimmune Pancreatitis Increase the Risk of Pancreatic Carcinoma?
(Ovid Technologies (Wolters Kluwer Health), 2013)
OBJECTIVES:
To estimate the risk of malignancy in autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP).
METHODS:
We examined resected pancreata to compare the prevalence of pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PanIN) in 28 cases of AIP and ...
IgG4+ to IgG+ Plasma Cells Ratio of Ampulla Can Help Differentiate Autoimmune Pancreatitis From Other “Mass Forming” Pancreatic Lesions
(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, ...
Subclassification of Autoimmune Pancreatitis: A Histologic Classification With Clinical Significance
(Ovid Technologies (Wolters Kluwer Health), 2011)
Autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the pancreas. Examination of pancreatic resection specimens from patients with AIP has shown that there are 2 subclasses of this disease. However, there ...
