Representative histopathologic features in resected pancreatic specimens from patients with (A–C) AIP and (D) IDCP, including (A) lymphoplasmacytic inflammation, (B) storiform fibrosis (in a swirled pattern), (C) obliterative phlebitis (arrow, Elastica van Gieson stain), and (D) GEL (asterisk).

4. Figure 3
Histological findings in patients with (A and B) AIP and (C and D) IDCP obtained from endoscopic ultrasonography–guided core biopsies show (A) a prominent fibroinflammatory process. (B) Immunostaining for IgG4 highlights infiltration of IgG4+ plasma cells (>10 cells in this field). (C) Neutrophils infiltrate the epithelial layer of the pancreatic duct, forming a small aggregate (arrow). This change is in keeping with a GEL. (D) Involved ductules are infiltrated by many neutrophils, another suggestive feature of IDCP.

5. Figure 4
Computed tomographic imaging from 2 different patients with AIP shows the typical diffuse pancreatic enlargement as well as (A) the hypoattenuating rim seen in 30% of patients and (B) the characteristic parenchymal hypoattenuation, which is best seen during the portal phase.

6. Figure 5
Pancreatic duct imaging features of AIP obtained at the time of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography in 2 patients. (A) A long stricture in the head of the pancreas without upstream ductal dilation. Additionally, side branches are seen arising from the strictured segment. (B) Multifocal strictures of the main pancreatic duct.
