Abstract

Since the concept of autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) was proposed by Yoshida et al. [1] in 1995, it has developed predominantly in Japan, with the diagnostic emphasis on the clinical phenotype. The characteristic histological finding of AIP is lymphoplasmacytic sclerosing pancreatitis (LPSP) [2]. From 2000, many AIP cases have been reported in Western countries and Korea, and AIP is now a distinct entity that is recognized worldwide [3, 4]. Another type of AIP, called idiopathic duct-centric pancreatitis (IDCP) [5] or AIP with granulocyte epithelial lesion (GEL) [6], was reported from Western countries in 2003 and 2004, respectively. Currently, AIP is classified into two subtypes: type 1 (LPSP) and type 2 (IDCP) [7].
