title: Auto-immune pancreatitis--an uncommon type of chronic pancreatitis.
abstract: Auto-immune pancreatitis is an increasingly recognised disorder of presumed auto-immune aetiology. It has to be differentiated from other forms of chronic pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer as it has dramatic response with steroid therapy. So, early and prompt diagnosis of this disorder in early stage of disease is essential. Here a case of auto-immune pancreatitis in a 16 years old young male is reported.
