Core Tip

Core Tip: Immunoglobulin G4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is characterized by abundant IgG4 positive plasma cells and fibrosis in the affected tissues. It can affect most parts of the body, but there were not many reports of IgG4-RD in the intestines. This patient was an IgG4-RD case to be reported in the colon, which was identified by computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, pathology and blood tests of IgGs. This case report will help expand the understanding of IgG4-RD in some unknown tissues.
