Abstract
Background/Objectives: Type 1 autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) can resemble pancreatobiliary malignancy. We described pancreatic and extrapancreatic CT/MRI findings and explored retrospective interpretive patterns, including unrecognized diffuse disease.
Methods
This retrospective single-center study included 40 selected patients with archived definite/probable JPS 2018 classifications. CT was available for 31 patients and MRI/MRCP for 36. Two radiologists reviewed features independently and reached consensus; access to diagnostic information during these assessments could not be reconstructed. Six operated patients formed an illustrative case series reviewed post hoc with final diagnoses known.
