ABSTRACT

We report the case of a 70-year-old male with chronic abdominal pain, who presented with increased intensity of the pain, and was initially diagnosed and treated for acute biliary pancreatitis. However, the symptoms persisted after hospital discharge, and he was subsequently studied with cholangio-MRI, abdominal CT scan, and ERCP, which revealed dilation of the biliary tract and a mass in the head of the pancreas. An excisional biopsy of the lesion showed chronic inflammation with severe sclerosing fibrosis and a lymphoplasmacytic infiltrate. A diagnosis of autoimmune pancreatitis was made, and the patient was initiated on azathioprine with good clinical response.


Presentamos el caso de un varón de 70 años con dolor abdominal crónico, que se presenta con aumento de este; se le diagnostica y se lo trata inicialmente como cuadro de pancreatitis biliar. A pesar del manejo inicial, los síntomas persisten después de la primera hospitalización, y se estudia con tomografía computarizada de abdomen, colangiorresonancia y colangiopancreatografía retrograda endoscópica, estudios en los cuales se detecta dilatación de la vía biliar y masa en la cabeza del páncreas. Se llevó a cabo biopsia excisional, que demuestra inflamación crónica con intensa fibrosis e infiltrado linfocitario. Se hace diagnóstico de pancreatitis autoimmunitaria y se inicia azatioprina, con adecuada respuesta.
