Use of immunohistochemistry for IgG4 in the distinction of autoimmune pancreatitis from peritumoral pancreatitis
Abstract
The patients with autoimmune pancreatitis usually present with jaundice and a pancreatic head mass, presumed to have pancreatic cancer, and they often undergo pancreatic resection. Elevated serum IgG4 levels (>135 mg/dL) help to distinguish autoimmune pancreatitis from pancreatic cancer.
