Abstract
Autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) has been considered an extraordinary type of chronic pancreatitis, with characteristic abundant IgG4-positive plasma cell infiltration and accompanying sclerosis, and was recently recognized as the pancreatic manifestation of IgG4-related sclerosing disease. Diagnosis of AIP has been recently increased with increase in awareness, dramatic improvement of radiological examination such as CT and MRI, and immunologic diagnostic assay tool including IgG and IgG4. Many investigators have focused on the image findings of AIP on CT and MR and its differential diagnosis from the common bile duct (CBD) or pancreatic cancer.
