Significant CA 19-9 Elevation in IgG4-Related Autoimmune Pancreatitis - A Diagnostic Dilemma
We describe the case of a 65-year-old male with history of IgG4-RD, presenting with jaundice and abdominal pain. He was found to have a pancreatic mass with significantly elevated IgG4 162 (2-96 mg/dL and CA19-9 levels 2830 (0-35 U/ml). Patient underwent ERCP and biopsy, which ruled out pancreatic cancer and cholangiocarcinoma. He was diagnosed with IgG4-RD autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) and sclerosing cholangitis. Treatment with steroids and rituximab resulted in significant improvement in the bilirubin and a dramatic decrease in CA19-9 levels.PMID:37714269 | DOI:10.1016/j.amjms.2023.09.016

Simultaneously metastatic cholangiocarcinoma and small intestine cancer from breast cancer misdiagnosed as primary cholangiocarcinoma: A case report

Treatment should be aimed at relieving biliary obstruction and abdominal pain, and then supplemented with chemotherapy and targeted therapy to control tumor progression and prolong the patient's life.PMID:37449239 | PMC:PMC10336993 | DOI:10.12998/wjcc.v11.i18.4446
