Core Tip	Autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) is a recently discovered form of pancreatitis and represents one of the diseases of the pancreas which can be cured and healed medically. Two types of AIP have been recognized: type 1 (usually associated with other extrapancreatic disorders) and type 2. The pancreas of a patient with AIP is often infiltrated by various types of immune cells, including cluster of differentiation 4-positive T cells and granulocytes in type 2 AIP or immunoglobulin G4 -producing plasma cells in type 1 AIP. We reviewed the current concepts regarding the pathophysiology of this intriguing disease, focusing on the importance of the humoral and the cellular immune responses.
