Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography is used to evaluate the narrowing of the main pancreatic duct in autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) and biliary stricture in IgG4-related sclerosing cholangitis (IgG4-SC). Intraductal ultrasonography enables detailed visualization of the thickening of the bile duct wall in IgG4-SC. Pancreatic cancer, cholangiocarcinoma, and primary sclerosing cholangitis are important mimicking conditions of AIP and IgG4-SC. Diffuse or segmental stricture without marked upstream dilatation is a typical pancreatographic finding in AIP. By contrast, a single, short stricture with marked upstream dilatation is a typical finding in pancreatic cancer. The cholangiogram of IgG4-SC is classified into four types based on biliary stricture location, and this cholangiogram classification is useful for the differential diagnosis of IgG4-SC. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiography can be used to distinguish between IgG4-SC and primary sclerosing cholangitis. A segmental/long and intrapancreatic stricture is a characteristic finding of IgG4-SC, whereas band-like strictures, a beaded or pruned-tree appearance, and diverticulum-like outpouching are characteristic of primary sclerosing cholangitis. The characteristic intraductal ultrasonographic findings of circular–symmetrical wall thickening, smooth outer and inner margins, and homogeneous internal echo at the biliary stricture site are useful for diagnosis of IgG4-SC. Thickening of the bile duct wall at non-stricture sites is also a typical intraductal ultrasonographic finding of IgG4-SC and can be used for differential diagnosis from cholangiocarcinoma. Transpapillary bile duct and duodenal papilla biopsy during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography are also useful in the diagnosis of IgG4-SC.
