IgG4-related systemic disease, also IgG4-related disease, is a disease characterized IgG4 positive plasma cells and fibrosis.[1]
There are several IgG4-related diseases:
- Lymphoplasmacytic sclerosing pancreatitis - a type of autoimmune pancreatitis.
- Retroperitoneal fibrosis.[2]
- Riedel's thyroiditis.
- Inflammatory pseudotumour,[2] also known as inflammatory myofibroblastic tumour (IMT); probably only a subset of IMT.[3]
- Sclerosing cholangitis[2] (IgG4-associated cholangitis[4]).
- Autoimmune pancreatitis (lymphoplasmacytic sclerosing pancreatitis).
- Others.
