title: [Diagnosis and diagnostic criteria of autoimmune pancreatitis].
abstract: In 1995 Yoshida et al proposed "autoimmune pancreatitis". Recent studies suggested the existence of two subtypes of autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP): type 1 related with IgG4 as the pancreatic manifestation of IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD), and type 2 related with a granulocytic epithelial lesion. There were several diagnostic criteria. This review provides a overview of autoimmune pancreatitis from diagnostic criteria and diagnostic strategie.
