Lymphadenopathy occurring in patients with immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4)-related disease, termed IgG4-related lymphadenopathy, shows morphologic heterogeneity and overlap with other nonspecific causes of lymphadenopathy including infections, immune-related disorders, and neoplasms. This review describes the characteristic histopathologic features and diagnostic approach to IgG4-related disease and IgG4-related lymphadenopathy, with comparison to nonspecific causes of increased IgG4-positive plasma cells in lymph nodes, and with emphasis on distinction from IgG4-expressing lymphoproliferative disorders.
发生于 IgG4 相关疾病(IgG4-related disease)患者的淋巴结病,称为 IgG4 相关淋巴结病(IgG4-related lymphadenopathy),表现出形态学的异质性和与其他非特异性淋巴结病病因的重叠,包括感染、免疫相关性疾病和肿瘤。本综述描述了 IgG4 相关疾病和 IgG4 相关淋巴结病的特征性组织病理学特征和诊断方法,与非特异性淋巴结中 IgG4 阳性浆细胞增多的病因进行了比较,并强调了与 IgG4 表达的淋巴增生性疾病的鉴别。
