چکیده انگلیسی
Background & Aims: Autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) is recognized increasingly as a multisystem disorder. We evaluated the use of immunoglobulin (Ig)G4 immunostaining of pancreatic and extrapancreatic biopsy specimens to make a definitive diagnosis of AIP. Methods: Seventeen biopsy specimens and 3 gallbladder resections were assessed from 11 patients with clinical and radiologic features of AIP. Biopsy specimens from pancreas, liver, colon, stomach, duodenum, bone marrow, salivary gland, and kidney were analyzed morphologically, immunostained for IgG4-positive plasma cells, and compared with controls. Results: Positive IgG4 immunostaining enabled a definitive diagnosis in 10 of 11 (91%) AIP patients. In both pancreatic and extrapancreatic tissues, high levels of IgG4 immunostaining (>10 IgG4-positive plasma cells/high-power field) were found in 17 of 20 (85%) specimens from AIP patients compared with 1 of 175 (0.6%) specimens from controls (P < .05). Positive extrapancreatic IgG4 immunostaining was found in 8 of 11 (73%) patients, including all those with diagnostic features in the pancreas. Increased tissue IgG4 was found irrespective of serum IgG4 level. Conclusions: The finding of IgG4 immunostaining within a range of clinically involved tissues supports the hypothesis that AIP is a multisystem disease. Positive IgG4 immunostaining in extrapancreatic tissues may allow a definitive diagnosis of AIP to be made in those with evidence of pancreatic disease, without the necessity of pancreatic biopsy or surgical exploration. Immunostaining of involved tissue for IgG4 may be particularly useful when AIP is suspected clinically but the serum IgG4 level is normal.
