Summary
In this case report, we present a case of autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) diagnosis in a patient after a 7-year history of suspicious pancreatic cancer. Kim's and Japanese criteria were used to diagnose AIP. Our case avoided undesirable invasive procedures and recovered thanks to the proper diagnosis and timely treatment with prednisone. Early and accurate diagnosis of AIP, in this case, had a significant impact on the treatment and prognosis process.
