1.7 Other Organ Involvement(OOI)

It has been increasingly recognized that type 1 AIP is a pancreatic manifestation of systemic IgG4-related disease(Umehara et al.2012;Kamisawa et al.2015).Extra-pancreatic involvements include IgG4-related sclerosing cholangitis(Fig.11.3a),retroperitoneal fibrosis,dacryoadenitis/sialadenitis(Fig.11.3b),and interstitial nephritis.Type 2 AIP is frequently accompanied by inflammatory bowel diseases in about 30%of cases(Kamisawa et al.2013;Hart et al.2015a;Okazaki and Uchida 2015).18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography is useful for detecting extrapancreatic lesions as well as pancreatic ones(Fig.11.3c).(https://www.daowen.com)
