Abstract
Autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) is a “one of a kind” inflammatory disease of the pancreas since it differs clinically, pathologically, and instrumentally from all other types of pancreatitis. Many papers have been published since the introduction of the term “autoimmune pancreatitis” by Yoshida et al. in 1995 [1], focusing mainly on the dramatic and quick response to steroid therapy.
