Abstract

Autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) is an infrequent pathology, although there is a growing incidence in Eastern countries, which might be due to a greater rate of detection. It can be associated with other autoimmune pathologies and its association with IgG4-related systemic disease has been described. Its clinical presentation is varied and the normal treatment is medical, using corticoids.

A diagnosed clinical case is described.

 

Key words. Autoimmune pancreatitis. IgG4.
