Core Tip

Core Tip: Autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) has a low global incidence. Patients with pancreatic swelling need to differentiate between general pancreatitis and AIP. We report a clinical case and review the diagnosis of AIP in terms of clinical symptoms, physical examinations, laboratory examinations, and imaging examinations. To improve clinicians' ability to diagnose AIP will reduce misdiagnosis and increase the effectiveness of treatment.
