Other Diagnostic Studies
- Other diagnostic studies for autoimmune pancreatitis usually include:
- Pancreatic biopsy, which demonstrates:
- Extensive fibrosis
- Lymphoplasmacytic infiltration
- Pancreatic biopsy, which demonstrates:
- Endoscopic ultrasound-guided trucut biopsy (EUS-TCB) is usually avoided due to;[1][2]
- Increased risk of complications
- Limited diagnostic ability due to
- Small sample size
- Lack of tissue architecture
