Abstract
IgG4-related disease appears to be underdiagnosed, probably due to its broad clinical spectrum as well as a low index of awareness among clinicians. We recommend that, when dense lymphoplasmacytic infiltrates, storiform-type fibrosis or obliterative phlebitis are found, immunohistochemistry for IgG and IgG4should be requested. Positive results then must be correlated with complementary studies to confirm the disease.
