  7. 52-yo woman with a history of Hashimoto thyroiditis developed signs of biliary obstruction. Malignancy was suspected. Imaging studies showed mild diffuse enlargement of pancreas and segmental dilation of main pancreatic duct. No discreet mass was detected. What additional tests would be valuable in diagnostic workup?
    Answer: "Serum IgG4 level, biopsy of the pancreas, brief steroid challenge."
  8. Which of the following  about autoimmune pancreatitis is INCORRECT?
    A. May occurs in a wide variety of organs and tissues.
    B. Often forms an inflammatory fibroproliferative nodule or mass.
    C. Presence of IgG4 positive plasma cells is diagnostic.
    D. Elevated serum IgG4 level is common.
    E. Swift response to steroid therapy.
    Answer: C. These plasma cells can also be seen in a wide variety of inflammatory processes unrelated to autoimmunity.
  9. A3-yo boy with growth delay was found to have a palpable abdominal mass confirmed by CT scan. A 13-cm solid mass was subsequently resected. The mass was lobulated with broad fibrous bands.

    True
    False
    Answer:: False.  High numbers of IgG4-positive plasma cells can also be seen in diverse non-specific inflammatory conditions.
