Table 1 Endoscopic ultrasonography features of autoimmune pancreatitis

	Pancreas		Extrahepatic bile duct	Gallbladder	Lymph nodes¹	Peripancreatic vessels
	Diffuse AIP	Focal AIP
EUS	Gland volume: increased	Gland volume: focal enlargement/s	Caliber: dilated	Wall: diffuse and uniform thickening, “sandwich-pattern”¹	Volume: enlarged (also substantially)	Loss of interface between pancreas and portal or mesenteric veins¹
	Echotexture: echopoor, with echogenic interlobular septa	Echotexture: echopoor, with echogenic interlobular septa	Wall: diffuse and uniform thickening, “sandwich-pattern”¹		Echotexture: echopoor
	Gland border: thickened				Sites: liver hylum, peripancreatic, celiac
	Wirsung: narrowed	Wirsung: narrowed within the lesion, dilated upstream to the lesion
	Wirsung wall: thickened¹	Wirsung wall: thickened¹
IDUS			Wall: diffuse and uniform thickening, “sandwich-pattern”; differential diagnosis with cholangiocarcinoma¹

¹Indicates the features which are detected only or substantially better by endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) and not seen in conventional cross-sectional imaging. AIP: Autoimmune pancreatitis; IDUS: Intraductal ultrasonography.
