BACKGROUND: How T follicular (Tfh) cells contribute to many different B-cell class-switching events during T cell-dependent immune responses has been unclear. Diseases with polarized isotype switching offer a unique opportunity for the exploration of Tfh subsets. Secondary and tertiary lymphoid organs (SLOs and TLOs) in patients with elevated tissue expression levels of IgE (Kimura's disease, KD) and those of IgG4 (IgG4-related disease, IgG4-RD) can provide important insights regarding cytokine expression by Tfh cells. OBJECTIVE: To identify disease-specific Tfh cell subsets in SLOs and TLOs expressing IL-10 or IL-13 and thus identify different cellular drivers of class switching in two distinct types of fibrotic disorders: allergic fibrosis (driven by type 2 immune cells) and inflammatory fibrosis (driven by cytotoxic T lymphocytes). METHODS: Single-cell RNA-sequencing, in situ sequencing, and multi-color immunofluorescence analysis was used to investigate B cells, Tfh cells and infiltrating type 2 cells in lesion tissues from patients with KD or IgG4-RD. RESULTS: Infiltrating Tfh cells in TLOs from IgG4-RD were divided into six main clusters. We encountered abundant infiltrating IL-10-expressing LAG3+ Tfh cells in patients with IgG4-RD. Furthermore, we found that infiltrating AID+CD19+B cells expressing IL-4, IL-10, and IL-21 receptors correlated with IgG4 expression. In contrast, we found that infiltrating IL-13-expressing Tfh cells were abundant in affected tissues from patients with KD. Moreover, we observed few infiltrating IL-13-expressing Tfh cells in tissues from patients with IgG4-RD, despite high serum levels of IgE (but low IgE in the disease lesions). Cytotoxic T cells were abundant in IgG4-RD, and in contrast Type 2 immune cells were abundant in KD. CONCLUSIONS: This single-cell dataset revealed a novel subset of IL10+LAG3+Tfh cells infiltrating the affected organs of IgG4-RD patients. In contrast, IL13+Tfh cells and type 2 immune cells infiltrated those of KD patients.

Castleman disease consists of several lymphoproliferative subtypes that share some histological features in the lymph nodes. On the other hand, numerous clinical findings and etiologies make the disease challenging to understand. The origin of the disease is the hyaline vascular-type unicentric Castleman disease (UCD), first reported by Benjamin Castleman et al. in 1954. Although UCD is characterized by localized lesions and lack of symptoms, multicentric Castleman disease (MCD) with multiple lesions and systemic symptoms was reported by Frizzera in 1983. MCD is further divided according to KSHV/HHV8 infection status. In KSHV/HHV8-related MCD, viral infection signals lead to excessive cytokine production, and cause clinical and pathologic abnormalities. Some cases of plasma cell-type KSHV/HHV8-negative MCD can be found in association with POEMS syndrome (polyneuropathy, organomegaly, endocrinopathy, M-proteins, and skin changes), which is a paraneoplastic syndrome. The others are idiopathic MCD, which are currently considered a heterogeneous group of diseases with overlapping pathological and clinical features. In this article, we summarize the historical evolution of Castleman disease to help understand the disease concept. We also review the latest ideas and definitions of the subtypes within the MCD spectrum and summarize the histopathological findings.

Since thrombocytopenia, anasarca, fever, reticulin fibrosis, renal insufficiency, and organomegaly (TAFRO) syndrome was first proposed in 2010, there has been considerable progress in this area, particularly regarding its association with idiopathic multicentric Castleman disease (iMCD). TAFRO syndrome is a heterogeneous category with a constellation of symptoms that can develop in the setting of infection, rheumatologic disorder, malignancy, and iMCD. Now, iMCD with TAFRO symptoms is subtyped as iMCD-TAFRO. However, confusion between TAFRO syndrome and iMCD-TAFRO remains. In this article, we discuss the current understanding and future research agenda of TAFRO syndrome and iMCD-TAFRO from the perspective of its new validated international definition.

Idiopathic multicentric Castleman disease (iMCD) is a systemic disorder characterized by systemic inflammation and organ dysfunction associated with an increase in pro-inflammatory cytokines. Some patients with iMCD are positive for autoantibodies, although their significance and relationship with specific associated autoimmune diseases are unclear. This study retrospectively analyzed the clinicopathological features of iMCD patients focusing on autoantibodies. Among 63 iMCD patients in our database, 19 were positive for at least one autoantibody. Among the 19, we identified five with plasma cell type (PC)-iMCD lymph node histopathology and positive anti-phospholipid antibodies. These patients were likely to have thrombocytopenia, anasarca, fever, reticulin fibrosis or renal insufficiency, organomegaly (TAFRO) symptoms, and thrombotic events. The present study suggests that patients with undiagnosed or atypical autoimmune diseases, including anti-phospholipid syndrome (APS), were treated for iMCD. APS may present with thrombocytopenia or even multi-organ failure, which overlap with clinical presentations of iMCD. Due to differences in the treatment regimen and follow-up, recognition of the undiagnosed autoimmune disease process in those suspected of iMCD is essential. Our study highlights the importance of complete exclusion of differential diagnoses in patients with iMCD in their diagnostic workup.

BACKGROUND: Histological evaluation of lymph node is crucial for the definitive diagnosis of Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease (KFD). However, lymph node biopsy under local anesthesia is often difficult in pediatric patients. OBJECTIVES: We evaluated cytological findings for pediatric patients with prolonged cervical lymphadenitis clinically suggestive of KFD and investigated the clinical characteristics of patients diagnosed with KFD by fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC). METHODS: This retrospective clinical study included 58 Japanese pediatric patients with cervical lymphadenitis who underwent FNAC. RESULTS: Cytological diagnosis was KFD for 22 and suspicion of KFD for 11 patients. The remaining 25 patients were diagnosed with non-specific lymphadenitis (NSL). Tenderness was independently associated with a higher frequency of both KFD in narrow and broad senses, compared with NSL (p = .009; p = .038). The percentage of patients who underwent FNAC within 28 days from symptom onset tended to be higher among patients with KFD in a narrow sense than those with NSL (p = .052). CONCLUSION: This study indicated that the period from symptom onset to FNAC (<28 days) and the symptom of tenderness were associated with the cytological diagnosis of KFD.

OBJECTIVE: It has been reported that levels of soluble CD30 in serum and joint fluid are significantly elevated in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). This study aimed to investigate whether CD30 could be a therapeutic target for RA. METHODS: The expression and localization of CD30 were examined by immunohistochemical and double immunofluorescence staining on synovial tissue samples obtained from patients with RA or osteoarthritis (OA) during surgery. Changes in CD30 expression of fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS) from RA patients with or without TNFα and IL-1β stimulation were examined by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and flow cytometry. Collagen antibody-induced arthritis (CAIA) was created in DBA/1 mice, and the therapeutic effect of brentuximab vedotin (BV) was examined by clinical score, histological findings and measurement of serum levels of SAA, IL-6, and TNFα. RESULTS: CD30 expression was significantly higher in samples from patients with RA than from those with OA. Double immunofluorescence showed a low rate of co-localization of CD30 with CD20 or CD90, but a high rate of co-localization of CD30 and CD138. CD30 mRNA expression was upregulated 11.7-fold in FLS following stimulation by inflammatory cytokines. The clinical scores of CAIA mice were significantly lower following both BV treatments, however, the histological scores of CAIA mice were significantly lower only following treatment with high dose BV (70 mg/kg). CONCLUSIONS: CD30 was expressed on immunocompetent cells in synovial tissue from RA patients and in cytokine-stimulated FLS in vitro. High dose BV (70 mg/kg) showed significant therapeutic effects in ameliorating inflammation and joint destruction in CAIA mice, but low dose BV (30 mg/kg) was insufficient.

Sinonasal inverted papilloma (SNIP) can recur; however, the factors related to tumor recurrence remain unclear. This study aimed to analyze risk factors, including human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, as well as other factors associated with SNIP recurrence. Thirty-two patients who were diagnosed with SNIP and underwent surgery between 2010 and 2019 were enrolled: 24 men and 8 women, with a mean age of 59.2 years. The mean follow-up was 57.3 months. Demographics and information about history of smoking, diabetes mellitus (DM), hypertension, allergic rhinitis, alcohol consumption, tumor stage, surgical approach, and recurrence were reviewed retrospectively. Specimens were investigated using polymerase chain reaction to detect HPV DNA (high-risk subtypes: 16, 18, 31, 33, 35, 52b, and 58; low-risk subtypes: 6 and 11). Seven patients (21.9%) experienced recurrence. HPV DNA was detected in five (15.6%) patients (high-risk subtypes, n = 2; low-risk subtypes, n = 3). Patients with recurrence of SNIP had a higher proportion of young adults and displayed higher rates of HPV infection, DM, and advanced tumor stage than those without recurrence. HPV infection, young adulthood, DM, and advanced tumor stage could be associated with a high recurrence rate, which suggests that patients with these risk factors could require close follow-up after surgery.

Patients with plasma cell type idiopathic multicentric Castleman disease (PC-iMCD) often show elevated serum IgG4 levels and IgG4-positive cell infiltration in tissues due to overproduction of interleukin-6, and may meet the diagnostic criteria for IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD). Although PC-iMCD has been listed as a major exclusion disease for IgG4-RD, distinguishing between these diseases is challenging due to a lack of highly specific diagnostic biomarkers. In 2020, we proposed exclusion criteria of IgG4-RD mimickers. In this paper, we validated the accuracy of the criteria in excluding one of the mimickers, PC-iMCD, from IgG4-RD. Validation was performed on 57 PC-iMCD patients (39 presenting lymph node lesions and 19 with lung lesions) and 29 IgG4-RD patients (22 presenting lymph node lesions and seven with lung lesions). According to our results, 20.5% of the PC-iMCD patients with lymph node lesions and 42.1% of those with lung lesions met the diagnostic criteria for IgG4-RD. All these patients with PC-iMCD were excluded from a diagnosis of IgG4-RD by the proposed criteria. Additionally, 6.9% of IgG4-RD patients met the exclusion criteria. Thus, if the exclusion criteria are met, diagnosis should be made based on a combination of findings including organ distribution of disease, response to steroid therapy, and other pathological findings.

BACKGROUND: Most patients with methotrexate-associated lymphoproliferative disorder (MTX-LPD) show diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) or classic Hodgkin lymphoma (CHL) types. Patients with MTX-LPD often have spontaneous remission after MTX discontinuation, but chemotherapeutic intervention is frequently required in patients with CHL-type MTX-LPD. In this study, we examined whether programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression levels were associated with the prognosis of MTX-LPD after MTX discontinuation. METHODS: A total of 72 Japanese patients diagnosed with MTX-LPD were clinicopathologically analyzed, and immunohistochemical staining of PD-L1 was performed in 20 DLBCL-type and 24 CHL-type MTX-LPD cases to compare with the clinical course. RESULTS: PD-L1 was expressed in 5.0% (1/20) of patients with DLBCL-type MTX-LPD, whereas it was expressed in 66.7% (16/24) of the patients with CHL-type MTX-LPD in more than 51% of tumor cells. Most CHL-type MTX-LPD patients with high PD-L1 expression required chemotherapy owing to exacerbations or relapses after MTX discontinuation. However, no significant differences in clinicopathologic findings at diagnosis were observed between PD-L1 high- and low-expression CHL-type MTX-LPD. CONCLUSION: PD-L1 expression was significantly higher in patients with CHL-type than DLBCL-type MTX-LPD, suggesting the need for chemotherapy in addition to MTX discontinuation in CHL-type MTX-LPD patients to achieve complete remission. No association was observed between PD-L1 expression levels and clinical findings at diagnosis, suggesting that PD-L1 expression in tumor cells influences the pathogenesis of CHL-type MTX-LPD after MTX discontinuation.

Secretory carcinoma is a salivary gland neoplasm first described as a mammary analogue secretory carcinoma by Skalova et al. in 2010 and redesignated as a secretory carcinoma in the 2017 World Health Organization Classification of Head and Neck Tumors. Secretory carcinoma diagnosis is reliant on specific cytological and histological findings and the detection of an ETV6-NTRK3 fusion gene. Here, we examined the clinical and cytopathological features of four cases of secretory carcinoma occurring in three males and a female, aged between 39 and 74 years. All four tumors involved the parotid gland, and were found to have the ETV6-NTRK3 fusion gene. Fine-needle aspiration-based cytology smears of all tumors displayed papillary and/or dendritic pattern clusters, some of which were associated with blood vessels. The neoplastic cells displayed enlarged nuclei with fine chromatin and small, distinct, single nucleoli. Furthermore, several neoplastic cells with a characteristic vacuolated cytoplasm were identified in each specimen. Giemsa staining revealed cytoplasmic vacuolation, intracytoplasmic metachromatic secretions and/or various sized metachromatic granules, and a background of metachromatic mucin in all four specimens. Given this, we conclude that these cytological findings, especially those of the Giemsa staining, might be helpful in the diagnosis of secretory carcinoma.

Primary gastrointestinal (GI) T-cell neoplasms are extremely rare heterogeneous disease entities with distinct clinicopathologic features. Given the different prognoses of various disease subtypes, clinicians and pathologists must be aware of the key characteristics of these neoplasms, despite their rarity. The two most common aggressive primary GI T-cell lymphomas are enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma and monomorphic epitheliotropic intestinal T-cell lymphoma. In addition, extranodal natural killer (NK)/T-cell lymphoma of the nasal type and anaplastic large cell lymphoma may also occur in the GI tract or involve it secondarily. In the revised 4th World Health Organization classification, indolent T-cell lymphoproliferative disorder of the GI tract has been incorporated as a provisional entity. In this review, we summarize up-to-date clinicopathological features of these disease entities, including the molecular characteristics of primary GI T-cell lymphomas and indolent lymphoproliferative disorders. We focus on the latest treatment approaches, which have not been summarized in existing reviews. Further, we provide a comprehensive review of available literature to address the following questions: How can pathologists discriminate subtypes with different clinical prognoses? How can primary GI neoplasms be distinguished from secondary involvement? How can these neoplasms be distinguished from non-specific inflammatory changes at an early stage?

The first case of hyaline vascular type of unicentric Castleman disease (HV-UCD) was reported more than six decades ago. Since patients with HV-UCD are often asymptomatic and this condition is generally discovered incidentally on imaging tests, most of the previous reports were of mediastinal origin detected by chest radiography. In recent years, improved access to imaging modalities has provided new insights in the diagnosis of this condition. In this study, we reviewed the detailed clinical and pathological findings of 38 HV-UCD cases (20 males and 18 females, mean age: 42.8 years). The most common site involved was the abdominal cavity (34.2%), followed by mediastinum (23.7%) and retroperitoneum (15.8%). In the abdominal cavity, mesenteric origin was the most common. The mean size of masses was 4.8 cm. Pathologically, thick hyalinized collagen fibers surrounding large blood vessels and calcification were observed (81.6% and 23.7%, respectively). Multinucleated giant cells resembling Warthin–Finkeldey cell were also observed in occasional cases (23.7%). This is a unique paper that summarizes detailed clinical and pathological findings of a large series of a rare disease. The clinical information presented in this paper is more plausible than previous views and is useful for accurate diagnosis and understanding of the disease.

Thrombocytopenia, anasarca, fever, reticulin fibrosis, renal insufficiency, and organomegaly (TAFRO) syndrome is a heterogeneous entity manifesting with a constellation of symptoms described above that can occur in the context of idiopathic multicentric Castleman disease (iMCD) as well as infectious diseases, malignancies, and rheumatologic disorders. So, iMCD-TAFRO is an aggressive subtype of iMCD with TAFRO syndrome and often hyper-vascularized lymph nodes. Since we proposed diagnostic criteria of iMCD-TAFRO in 2016, we have accumulated new insights on the disorder and additional cases have been reported worldwide. In this systematic review and cohort analysis, we established and validated a definition for iMCD-TAFRO. First, we searched PubMed and Japan Medical Abstracts Society databases using the keyword "TAFRO" to extract cases. Patients with possible systemic autoimmune diseases and hematologic malignancies were excluded. Our search identified 54 cases from 50 articles. We classified cases into three categories: (1) iMCD-TAFRO (TAFRO syndrome with lymph node histopathology consistent with iMCD), (2) possible iMCD-TAFRO (TAFRO syndrome with no lymph node biopsy performed and no other co-morbidities), and (3) TAFRO without iMCD or other co-morbidities (TAFRO syndrome with lymph node histopathology not consistent with iMCD or other comorbidities). Based on the findings, we propose an international definition requiring four clinical criteria (thrombocytopenia, anasarca, fever/hyperinflammatory status, organomegaly), renal dysfunction or characteristic bone marrow findings, and lymph node features consistent with iMCD. The definition was validated with an external cohort (the ACCELERATE Natural History Registry). The present international definition will facilitate a more precise and comprehensive approach to the diagnosis of iMCD-TAFRO.

Waldenström macroglobulinemia (WM)/lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma (LPL) is a rare indolent B-cell neoplasm, and a gain-of-function mutation in the myeloid differentiation primary response 88 (MYD88), L265P, is a commonly recurring mutation in patients with WM/LPL. Histological transformation of WM/LPL to an aggressive lymphoma such as diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is rare, and transformed DLBCL has a worse prognosis than de novo DLBCL, partly because transformed DLBCL is mostly classified as non-germinal center B-cell-like (non-GCB) subtype. We herein describe a 75-year-old man with DLBCL with a history of WM/LPL. DLBCL in this patient showed the GCB subtype, and the light chain restriction of DLBCL was different from that of the antecedent WM/LPL, indicating that the two types of lymphoma cells had distinctive origins. However, DLBCL in this patient harbored the MYD88 L265P mutation, and polymerase chain reaction and Sanger sequencing of the DLBCL and WM/LPL for immunoglobulin heavy chain gene rearrangement suggested a clonal relationship between the two lymphomas. Since the outcome of transformed DLBCL is worse than for de novo DLBCL, it is important to evaluate the clonal relationship between primary WM/LPL and the corresponding transformed DLBCL, even if the DLBCL expresses a GCB subtype or discordant light chain restriction.

Cryptococcosis is an invasive mycosis that has become increasingly prevalent in immunocompromised patients. Pregnant women are also one of the risk populations for cryptococcosis. Reversal of Th2 to Th1 response following resolution of immunosuppression during the postpartum period can lead to overt clinical manifestations of a previously silent infection, resembling an immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome. Here, we report a case of a 30-year-old woman who had an exacerbation of pulmonary cryptococcosis in the postpartum period mimicking an immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome. In the present case, chest computed tomography showed multiple small nodules on the day of the delivery; however, pulmonary cryptococcosis, which was subclinical during pregnancy, rapidly worsened to mass-like consolidation at one month after the delivery. Pathohistological examination of the lung specimen showed lung parenchyma infiltration with histiocytes and numerous lymphocytes without granulomatous formations, and a small number of yeast-like organisms consistent with Cryptococcus without capillary involvement. Immunohistochemical staining showed predominance of CD3+ cells and CD4+ cells over CD8+ cells. In addition, GATA3+ cells dominated over T-bet + cells. These data suggested exacerbation of pulmonary cryptococcosis associated with enhancement of Th2 response in the postpartum period.

Plasma cell differentiation (PCD) is frequently observed in some entities of non-Hodgkin B cell lymphoma, including both low-grade and high-grade lymphomas. However, except for plasmablastic lymphoma and primary effusion lymphoma, EBV+ B cell lymphoproliferative disorder (LPD) with PCD has not been well addressed due to its rarity. We clinicopathologically examined five cases of nodal EBV+ polymorphic B cell LPD with PCD (PBLPD-PCD) initially diagnosed as polymorphic EBV+ diffuse large B cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified (DLBCL-NOS) with PCD (n = 3) and methotrexate-associated B cell LPD (MTX-associated B-LPD) (n = 2). One case had a concomitant brain lesion which was clinically diagnosed as EBV-related encephalitis. This patient received therapy with vidarabine, and both the brain lesion and the nodal EBV+ PBLPD-PCD lesions disappeared. Another case was characterized by Mott cell differentiation. This case was the first reported case of EBV+ B cell lymphoma or LPD with Mott cell differentiation. The two cases of MTX-associated B cell LPD which arose in patients with rheumatoid arthritis spontaneously regressed after MTX cessation. TCRγ and IGH PCR analysis was performed in four cases. Two cases had TCRγ rearrangements, but no IGH rearrangements. The other two cases had no rearrangements in these genes. We concluded that nodal EBV+ PBLPD-PCD is rare, with heterogeneous characteristics. PCR analysis revealed that nodal EBV+ PBLPD-PCD may have only TCR clonality and no IGH clonality. Considering the partial or complete loss of CD20 expression on the tumor cells, this result may be confusing for accurate diagnosis of EBV+ PBLPD-PCD, and pathologists need to be aware of this phenomenon to avoid misdiagnosis.

IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is a fascinating clinical entity first reported in this century in Japan, and includes a wide variety of diseases, such as formerly named Mikulicz's disease (MD), autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP), interstitial nephritis, prostatitis and retroperitoneal fibrosis. The Japanese IgG4 team organized by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare (MHLW) of Japan has published the first criteria, comprehensive diagnostic (CD) criteria for IgG-RD 2011. Thereafter, IgG4-RD has been accepted widely and many cases have been reported from all over the world. Several problems have arisen in clinical practice, however, including the difficulty obtaining biopsy samples, and the sensitivity and specificity in cut off level of serum IgG4 and impaired immunostaining of IgG4. Given these situations, the Japanese IgG4 team has updated the 2011 comprehensive diagnostic criteria for IgG4-RD and propose the 2020 revised comprehensive diagnostic (RCD) criteria for IgG4-RD, which consists of 3 domains; 1) Clinical and radiological features, 2) Serological diagnosis and 3) Pathological diagnosis. In addition, the new pathological diagnosis is composed by three sub-items including storiform fibrosis and obliterative phlebitis.

Differentiation between adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL) and peripheral T-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified (PTCL-NOS), is often challenging based on pathological findings alone. Although serum anti-HTLV-1 antibody positivity is required for ATLL diagnosis, this information is often not available at the time of pathological diagnosis. Therefore, we examined whether the expression of SOX4 and p16 would be helpful for differentiating the two disease entities. We immunohistochemically examined SOX4 and p16 expression (which have been implicated in ATLL carcinogenesis) in 11 ATLL patients and 20 PTCL-NOS patients and classified them into four stages according to the percentage of positive cells. Among the ATLL cases, 8/11 (73%) were SOX4-positive, while only 2/20 (10%) PTCL-NOS cases expressed SOX4. The mean total score was 4.2 (standard deviation (SD): 0.61) in the ATLL group and 0.50 (SD: 0.46) in the PTCL-NOS group (p < 0.001). Positive expression of p16 was noted in 4/11 (36%) patients with ATLL and 3/20 (15%) patients with PTCL-NOS, with mean total scores of 1.9 (SD: 0.64) and 0.70 (SD: 0.48) in the ATLL and PTCL-NOS groups, respectively (p = 0.141). These results suggest that SOX4 may be strongly expressed in ATLL compared to PTCL-NOS cases. Therefore, it may be helpful to perform immunohistochemical staining of SOX4 when pathologists face challenges discriminating between ATLL and PTCL-NOS.

Immunoglobulin G4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is a systemic disorder characterized by tissue fibrosis and intense lymphoplasmacytic infiltration, causing progressive organ dysfunction. Activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID), a deaminase normally expressed in activated B-cells in germinal centers, edits ribonucleotides to induce somatic hypermutation and class switching of immunoglobulin. While AID expression is strictly controlled under physiological conditions, chronic inflammation has been noted to induce its upregulation to propel oncogenesis. We examined AID expression in IgG4-related ophthalmic disease (IgG4-ROD; n = 16), marginal zone lymphoma with IgG4-positive cells (IgG4+ MZL; n = 11), and marginal zone lymphoma without IgG4-positive cells (IgG4- MZL; n = 12) of ocular adnexa using immunohistochemical staining. Immunohistochemistry revealed significantly higher AID-intensity index in IgG4-ROD and IgG4+ MZL than IgG4- MZL (p < 0.001 and = 0.001, respectively). The present results suggest that IgG4-RD has several specific causes of AID up-regulation in addition to inflammation, and AID may be a driver of oncogenesis in IgG4-ROD to IgG4+ MZL.
