True or False: IgG4‑RD can affect many organs and often causes mass‑like swelling due to inflammation and fibrosis.
True
False
Please select an answer.
2 of 12
Which tissue pattern best fits IgG4-related disease?
Pockets of pus and a special type of dead tissue (caseating granulomas)
A dense mix of lymphocytes and plasma cells, swirled scar tissue (storiform fibrosis), and veins that are destroyed by the inflammatory infiltrate (obliterative phlebitis)
Only eosinophils with no scar tissue
Signs of a virus inside cells
Please select an answer.

The modern term “IgG4‑related disease” became established in the:
1980s
1990s
2000s
2020s
Please select an answer.
4 of 12
True or False: The earliest clinical descriptions of a patient who would be diagnosed today with IgG4 came from Europe.
True
False
Please select an answer.
5 of 12
Which statement about the IgG4 molecule is most accurate?
It strongly activates complement
It often acts in a calming/anti ‑ inflammatory way and can undergo Fab‑ arm exchange

It is a cytokine
Please select an answer.
6 of 12

CD56+, CD16+
Please select an answer.
8 of 12
True or False: B‑ cell–targeted therapies aim to reduce B‑ cell activation or numbers and can help limit fibrosis over time.
True
False
Please select an answer.
9 of 12
True or False: Fibroblasts only create harmful scar tissue and never help with healing.
True
False
Please select an answer.
10 of 12

Neutrophils
Eosinophils
Red blood cells
Platelets
Please select an answer.
11 of 12

True
False
Please select an answer.
12 of 12
Which one is most accurate? In IgG4‑RD, fibrosis can:
