An inflammatory pseudotumor is a benign disease characterized by tumor-like lesions consisting of inflammatory cells including plasma cells and fibrous tissue. Recently, some inflammatory pseudotumor cases proved to be a form of Immunoglobulin G4-related disease (IgG4-RD). This novel clinical entity, recognized as a fibroinflammatory condition, is characterized by lymphoplasmacytic infiltration with a predominance of IgG4-positive plasma cells, storiform fibrosis, and often elevated serum IgG4 concentrations. We report a case of IgG4-RD in the form of an inflammatory pseudotumor in the liver with combined sclerosing cholangitis. We recommend that for diagnosing IgG4-RD accurately, it is important to obtain adequate tissue samples and follow-up the lesion in clinical practice.
炎性假瘤是一种良性疾病,其特征为肿瘤样病变,由包括浆细胞在内的炎性细胞和纤维组织构成。最近,一些炎性假瘤病例被证实为免疫球蛋白G4相关疾病(IgG4-RD)的一种形式。这种新确认的临床实体被认为是一种纤维炎性病症,其特征为淋巴细胞和浆细胞浸润,以IgG4阳性浆细胞为主,呈席纹状纤维化,且血清IgG4浓度常升高。我们报告1例表现为肝脏炎性假瘤合并硬化性胆管炎的IgG4-RD病例。我们建议,在临床实践中,为准确诊断IgG4-RD,获取足够的组织样本并对病变进行随访很重要。
