Malignancies Presenting With ANCA Positivity: Two Case Reports and Diagnostic Considerations
ABSTRACT Background ANCA‐associated vasculitides (AAV) are small‐vessel inflammatory disorders characterized by the presence of anti‐neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA), including those against proteinase 3 (PR3) and myeloperoxidase (MPO).

Endoscopic diagnosis of immunoglobulin G4‐related sclerosing cholangitis
Immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4)‐related sclerosing cholangitis (IgG4‐SC) is a distinct form of sclerosing cholangitis frequently associated with autoimmune pancreatitis and is recognized as a biliary manifestation of IgG4‐related disease. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) are key diagnostic modalities ...
