Autoimmune pancreatitis presenting as a pancreatic head mass

The diagnosis of autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) is often difficult as the main differential diagnosis is pancreatic head adenocarcinoma.

description The diagnosis of autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) is often difficult as the main differential diagnosis is pancreatic head adenocarcinoma. Some clinical, radiological, serological and histological criteria help in guiding the diagnosis. The serum gamma-globulin IgG4 dosage is the most sensitive and specific marker. The shape of the ductal stenosis in AIP is characteristic. The treatment is based on corticosteroids. We report the case of a 53-year-old woman, presenting with pancreatic head mass mimicking an adenocarcinoma.
