The IgG4-related systemic diseases, also IgG4-related diseases, are diseases characterized IgG4 positive plasma cells and fibrosis.[1]

List of IgG4-related diseases

Microscopic

Features:[5]

  • At least 10 IgG4 +ve plasma cells.†
  • >40% of plasma cells IgG4 +ve.

Note:

  • † Minimum number dependent on anatomical site.[5]
    • Lymph node: 100 (or 50) plasma cells/HPF, where 1 HPF ~ 0.196 mm*mm and 3 HPFs (0.588 mm*mm) are assessed.[6]

Sign-out

Not present

The provided clinical history is noted. Plasma cells are not readily apparent (<10 plasma cells/0.196 mm*mm).
