Autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) is a rare form of chronic pancreatitis caused by an autoimmune inflammatory process. Some authors believe AIP to be a manifestation of IgG4-related disease. Symptoms can be nonspecific, and sometimes patients present with obstructive jaundice and anorexia, suggesting pancreatic cancer. Diagnosis is difficult and based on laboratory results, pancreatic imaging, and histological studies.

Abstract
Autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) is a rare form of chronic pancreatitis caused by an autoimmune inflammatory process. Some authors believe AIP to be a manifestation of IgG4-related disease. Symptoms can be nonspecific, and sometimes patients present with obstructive jaundice and anorexia, suggesting pancreatic cancer. Diagnosis is difficult and based on laboratory results, pancreatic imaging, and histological studies.
