Abstract

Autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) occurs in two forms. Type 1 AIP is an IgG4-related systemic fibro-inflammatory disease. Type 2 AIP is not associated with altered levels of IgG4, and involves only the pancreas. Here, we report a case of type 2 AIP manifesting as acute pancreatitis in a 20-year-old male with ulcerative colitis. The patient was definitely diagnosed with type 2 AIP based on typical pancreatic imaging, supportive histology, history of ulcerative colitis, and steroid responsiveness.
