Table 1 The Mayo clinic HISORt criteria for the diagnosis of autoimmune pancreatitis
CategoryCriteria
HistologyOne of the following:
Periductal lymphoplasmacytic infiltrate with obliterative phlebitis and storiform fibrosis (LPSP)
Lymphoplasmacytic infiltrate with storiform fibrosis showing abundant IgG4 positive cells (> 10 cells/HPF)
Imaging (CT)/(MRI)Typical; diffusely enlarged gland with diffuse rim enhancement, diffusely irregular attenuated pancreatic duct
Other; focal pancreatic mass or enlargement; focal pancreatic duct stricture; pancreatic duct stricture, pancreatic atrophy; pancreatic calcification or pancreatitis
SerologyElevated serum IgG4 level
Other organ involvementHilar/intrahepatic biliary strictures, persistent distal biliary strictures, parotid or lacrimal gland involvement, mediastinal lymphadenopathy or retroperitoneal fibrosis
Response to steroid therapyResolution/Marked improvement of pancreatic or extrapancreatic manifestion with steroid therapy

Table 4 International consensus diagnostic criteria level 1 and 2 criteria for type 1 and 2 autoimmune pancreatitis
Type 1 AIP
Criterion
Level 1
Level 2
Parenchymal imaging
Typical: Diffuse enlargement with delayed enhancement
Indeterminate: Focal enlargement with delayed enhancement
Ductal imaging (ERP)
Long or multiple strictures (> 1/3 duct length) without upstream dilatation
Focal narrowing without upstream dilatation (< 5 mm)
Serology
IgG4 > 2x upper limit
IgG4 1-2x upper limit
Other organ involvement
Extrapancreatic organ histology. Any 3 of : 1 Lymphoplasmacytic infiltration with fibrosis and without granulocytic infiltration 2 Storiform fibrosis 3 Obliterative phlebitis 4 > 10 cells/HPF IgG4-positive cells Typical radiology. Any one of: 1 Segmental/multiple proximal or distal biliary stricture 2 Retroperitoneal fibrosis
Extrapancreatic organ histology including bile duct biopsies. Both of: 1 Marked lymphoplasmacytic infiltration without granulocytic infiltration 2 10 cells/HPF IgG4-positive cells Physical or radiological evidence of at least one of: 1 Enlarged salivary/lachrymal glands 2 Renal involvement
Histology of pancreas
LPSP and 3 of: 1 Periductal lymphoplasmacytic infiltrate without granulocytic infiltration 2 Obliterative phlebitis 3 Storiform fibrosis 4 > 10 cells/HPF IgG4-positive cells
LPSP and 2 of: 1 Periductal lymphoplasmacytic infiltrate without granulocytic infil tration 2 Obliterative phlebitis 3 Storiform fibrosis 4 > 10 cells/HPF IgG4-positive cells
Response to steroid (Rt)
Rapid (< 2 wk) radiological demonstration of marked improvement in pancreatic/extrapancreatic manifestations
Type 2 AIP
Parenchymal imaging
Typical: Diffuse enlargement with delayed enhancement
Indeterminate: Focal enlargement with delayed enhancement
Ductal Imaging (ERCP)
Long (> 1/3 duct length) or multiple strictures without upstream dilatation
Focal narrowing without marked upstream dilatation (< 5 mm)
Other organ involvement
Clinically diagnosed inflammatory bowel disease
Histology of pancreas
IDCP. Both of: 1 Granulocytic infiltration of duct wall with or without acinar inflammation 2 0-10 cells/HPF IgG4-positive cells
Both of : 1 Granulocytic and lymphoplasmacytic acinar infiltrate 2 0-10 cells/HPF IgG4-positive cells
Response to steroid (Rt)Rapid (< 2 wk) radiological demonstration of marked improvement in manifestations
