Abstract:
We herein report a rare case of autoimmune pancreatitis with small intestinal obstruction. A 72-year-old male was admitted to our hospital with abdominal fullness and vomiting and diagnosed with autoimmune pancreatitis by imaging and laboratory tests. Imaging studies also revealed narrowing of the proximal jejunum with dilated bowels and intramural cystic lesion adjacent to the pancreatic body. Small bowel resection was performed to alleviate stenosis. Pathological evaluation demonstrated invasion of IgG4-positive cells and fibrosis.
