Autoimmune Pankreatitis

Zusammenfassung

In den letzten Jahren mehren sich Einzelfälle und Sammelkasuistiken zu einer Sonderform der chronischen Pankreatitis, der so genannten autoimmunen Pankreatitis. Die folgende Übersicht fasst den gegenwärtigen Stand der Literatur zusammen und unterzieht ihn einer kritischen Beleuchtung, ob es sich hierbei um eine eigene Entität als chronisch-rezidivierende Pankreatitis handelt.

Abstract

Over the last years several case reports and articles have been published suggesting that a new form of chronic pancreatitis has been diagnosed and named autoimmune pancreatitis. The present overview scrutinizes the proposed evidence in the light of the current literature and aims to prove whether autoimmune pancreatitis is a special entity of chronic pancreatitis.
