No Histology postop Histology preop Typical imaging (atypical) IgG IgG4 AAB Other organ involvement Steroid trial Asian positivee HISORt positive
5 AIP type 2 n.a. No n.a. n.a. n.a. No No No Possiblec
7 AIP type 1 n.a. No (focal mass) n.a. n.a. n.a. Hypothyroidism No No Possiblec

19 AIC n.a. Biliary stricture n.a. n.a. n.a. No No No Possiblec
23 AIP type2 Malignantb No (diffuse enlargement no rim, focal mass) 8.6 0.05 n.a. No No No Nod

IgG normal <17.0 g/L, IgG4 nl <1.40 g/L. n.a. not available, AAB auto antibodies (RF, ANA)

aPreoperative values, measured retrospectively, cytology (EUS FNA), if serology positive and/or suggestive pancreatogram, responsiveness to steroids would have confirmed diagnosis, even if responsive to steroids, diagnostic criteria would not have been met, none of the patients had adequate (mandatory) pancreatogram; patients 16 and 19 had double duct sign on ERCP with minimal contrast injection
