Core Tip
Core Tip: The endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) features of newly diagnosed autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) involving both typical findings and chronic pancreatitis (CP) features have rarely been described. The EUS typical features of AIP can help to differentiate diffuse AIP from classic CP and differentiate focal AIP from pancreatic cancer. This study demonstrated the EUS features of newly diagnosed AIP and the difference in the typical AIP features and CP features between the diffuse and focal AIP cases on the basis of the largest number of cases and indicated the relatively limited CP change in newly diagnosed AIP cases.
