Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to assess if the amount of IgG4+ plasma cells in biopsies affects clinical and serological outcomes in patients with IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD).
  • It included 57 patients and recorded various clinical and histological data, revealing that higher counts of IgG4+ plasma cells are linked to certain disease phenotypes and better clinical outcomes.
  • A count of 100 or more IgG4+ plasma cells per high-power field was associated with fewer relapses and a higher chance of remission, indicating its potential as a useful diagnostic indicator.

Indolent clonal T-cell lymphoproliferative disorder (iCTLD-GI)/indolent T-cell lymphoma of the gastrointestinal tract (iTLP-GI) poses diagnostic challenges, and despite its rarity, accurate diagnosis is crucial for appropriate management. We report the case of 34-year-old female with a 19-year history of gastrointestinal symptoms suggestive of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Subsequent evaluation revealed iCTLD-GI/iTLP-GI with extensive Crohn's disease-like morphological alterations, previously unreported.

Gastric cancer is one of the most frequent neoplasias in the digestive tract and is the result of premalignant lesion progression in the majority of cases. Opportune detection of those lesions is relevant, given that timely treatment offers the possibility of cure. There is no consensus in Mexico on the early detection of gastric cancer, and therefore, the Asociación Mexicana de Gastroenterología brought together a group of experts and produced the "Mexican consensus on the detection and treatment of early gastric cancer" to establish useful recommendations for the medical community.

To evaluate if major salivary gland enlargement in patients with IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is associated with systemic involvement. We included 47 patients with diagnosis of IgG4-RD. We retrospectively collected demographics, organ involvement, disease activity and damage assessed by the IgG4-RD Responder Index (IgG4-RD RI) and treatment.
