| Core Tip |
Type 1 autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) is regarded as a pancreatic lesion of IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD). However, the role of IgG4 in AIP or IgG4-RD phenotypes has not been established. This patient was diagnosed with compatible type 1 AIP according to the International Consensus Diagnostic Criteria without an elevation of serum IgG4 levels or IgG4-positive plasma cells. This case suggests that type 1 AIP phenotypes do not require IgG4 elevation. |
