Core Tip	Isolated IgG4-related sclerosing cholangitis (IgG4-SC) shares similar clinical manifestations to bile duct tumors, yet they differ significantly in biological behavior, treatment, and prognosis. Therefore, an accurate diagnosis of isolated IgG4-SC is crucial for the clinical management of patients. This article will delve into the key diagnostic points, difficulties, and challenges of isolated IgG4-SC to aid in better identifying and managing this disease.
