Core Tip	Patients with IgG4-related autoimmune pancreatitis frequently have associated conditions involving genitourinary organs. Since clinical presentations and imaging findings vary among patients, the differential diagnoses are broad. Serum IgG4 elevation is highly sensitive but not entirely specific for this condition, which is one reason why the diagnosis should be established in a multidisciplinary way. Although recent radiological advances have facilitated the effective characterization of IgG4-related retroperitoneal fibrosis, surgical resection is occasionally necessary to exclude malignancies. In addition to steroid therapy, ureteral stenting is required for patients with severe ureteral obstruction. A new concept of IgG4-related prostatitis is being increasingly recognized.
