| 摘要 |
Autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) with typical image findings and complete resolution
of pancreatitis after steroid therapy is presented for “images for surgeons”. A
computed tomography (CT) scan showed diffuse enlargement of the pancreas and
biliary tree dilatation, but without dilatation of the pancreatic duct. After steroid
treatment, the pancreatitis resolved, and a follow-up CT scan revealed normal size
and contour of the pancreas. Therefore, the typical image findings with diffuse or
segmental narrowing of the main pancreatic duct with irregular wall and diffuse or
localized enlargement of the pancreas should suggest the possibility of AIP, and may
help avoid unnecessary surgical operations. |
