IgG4-related sclerosing cholangitis is a rare autoimmune liver disease. Biliary tract imaging, serum IgG4 concentration, and histopathological examination are the major diagnostic criteria for IgG4-related sclerosing cholangitis. In this paper, we report a male patient with yellowish skin, in whom classical liver-protection drugs were initially given, but the efficacy was poor. After that, IgG4-related sclerosing cholangitis was diagnosed, and he achieved a good response to steroid therapy.
