Overview
Autoimmune pancreatitis is a world wide entitiy but it's incidence has been found to be recently increased in Japan. In North America, 2.5% of pancreatoduodenectomies are done because of AIP being misdiagnosed as pancreatic cancer. The mean age of patients with AIP is 59 yr (range, 45–75 yr). In autoimmune pancreatitis, the male-to-female ratio was found to be 15:2. Autoimmune pancreatitis usually involves elderly male population.
