A Case of Autoimmune Pancreatitis Manifested by a Pseudocyst and IgG4-Associated Cholangitis

Autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) is a benign disorder and a unique form of chronic pancreatitis with several characteristic features. A cystic formation that mimics a pseudocyst is a rare finding. There have been a few reports of AIP complicated by pancreatic cysts. We present a case of AIP with multip...

description Autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) is a benign disorder and a unique form of chronic pancreatitis with several characteristic features. A cystic formation that mimics a pseudocyst is a rare finding. There have been a few reports of AIP complicated by pancreatic cysts. We present a case of AIP with multiple pseudocysts and obstructive jaundice caused by IgG4-associated cholangitis. We initially missed the diagnosis due to the pseudocyst. Based on the computed tomography images, laboratory findings and the therapeutic response to steroids, the case was diagnosed as AIP with pseudocysts and associated cholangiopathy.
