Incidence and outcome of lung involvement in IgG 4‐related autoimmune pancreatitis

We evaluated the incidence and outcome of lung involvement in 35 patients with autoimmune pancreatitis ( AIP ). Our results indicate that lung involvement is commonly observed in AIP (40%). In addition, corticosteroid treatment improved the lung lesions and appeared to reduce the probability of rela...

Zusammenfassung:We evaluated the incidence and outcome of lung involvement in 35 patients with autoimmune pancreatitis ( AIP ). Our results indicate that lung involvement is commonly observed in AIP (40%). In addition, corticosteroid treatment improved the lung lesions and appeared to reduce the probability of relapse compared with pancreatic lesions (0% vs 36%). This is the first report to assess the long‐term outcome of lung involvement in AIP (52 ± 33 months).
