Abstract EN
Autoimmune pancreatitis is part of the spectrum of IgG4-associated diseases.
Its diagnostic criteria and histological subtypes have been formally proposed recently and although based on current data it has been suggested that there are differences in clinical presentation among populations, more research is needed to properly establish if this heterogeneity exists.
In this paper, we describe 15 cases of autoimmune pancreatitis diagnosed at a Mexican centre of reference, all of them associated to the lymphoplasmocytic sclerosing pancreatitis variant.
The mean age at the onset of symptoms was 47.5 ± 14.4 years, and 53% of patients were male.
The main manifestations were weight loss (87%), obstructive jaundice (53%), and acute (27%) and chronic (27%) pancreatitis.
Only 20% of patients had high IgG4 serum levels at the time of diagnosis.
All patients receiving prednisone responded favourably, both in their pancreatic and extrapancreatic manifestations.
Clinical manifestations of Mexican patients showed certain differences with respect to those usually reported.
