Zusammenfassung

Obwohl das Krankheitsbild Autoimmunpankreatitis (AIP) allgegenwärtig ist, bleibt die Diagnose weiterhin schwierig. Der ausgewählte Fall zeigt bereits im konventionellen Ultraschall Hinweise, echoarme Vergrößerung des Pankreas, die den Verdacht auf das Vorliegen einer AIP wecken können. In der Kasuistik werden die typischen Veränderungen in der Bildgebung (Endosonografie, CT-Abdomen, ERCP) gezeigt und kurz auf die aktuelle Literatur eingegangen.

Abstract

Despite the increased awareness, autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) ist still difficult to diagnose. Here we present a case, where the initial ultrasound examination revealed typical findings like diffuse pancreatic enlargement with echopoor echotexture, suspicious for the diagnosis of AIP. Furthermore we present the typical imaging by endosonography, CT-Scan and ERCP und review the recent literature.
