IgG4-related sclerosing cholangitis (IgG4-SC) is an inflammatory disease that leads to bile duct stricture, characterized by the infiltration of IgG4-positive plasma cells into the bile duct wall, thickening of the bile duct wall, and narrowing of the lumen. The differential diagnosis of IgG4-SC mainly includes primary sclerosing cholangitis, cholangiocarcinoma, and pancreatic cancer. IgG4-SC is often associated with autoimmune pancreatitis and can be accurately diagnosed based on clinical diagnostic criteria.

IgG4-related disease represents a heterogeneous group of disease characterized by infiltration of various tissues by IgG4 plasmocytes. In case of liver infiltration, this condition classically mimics primary sclerosing cholangitis or multifocal cholangiocarcinoma due to inflammation that preferentially affects the intra- and extrahepatic bile duct. Diagnostic criteria have recently been reviewed in order to better define the disease and help physicians make the diagnosis.

IgG4-sclerosing cholangitis (IgG4-SC) commonly presents with type 1 autoimmune pancreatitis. Isolated IgG4-SC is rare. Differentiating IgG4-SC from cholangiocarcinoma preoperatively is challenging due to overlapping radio-clinical manifestations and difficult preoperative histology.
