Background Detailed histological evaluation is important in the diagnosis of autoimmune
pancreatitis (AIP). However, it remains challenging to obtain adequate tissue from the …

Background and Aims Histologic diagnosis of autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) using EUS-
guided FNA (EUS-FNA) is difficult. To address this issue, new fine-needle biopsy (FNB) …

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Histologic techniques are used to distinguish autoimmune
pancreatitis (AIP) from pancreatic malignancies and to confirm the etiology of pancreatitis …

BACKGROUNDS: The effectiveness of endoscopic ultrasonography-guided fine-needle
aspiration (EUS-FNA) has not been fully evaluated in the diagnosis of autoimmune …

Background Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) is recommended for guiding the acquisition of
pancreatic tissue in patients with suspected autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP). Data comparing …

Background and Aims In the International Consensus Diagnostic Criteria (ICDC),
autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) is classified into types 1 and 2, and its definite histopathology …

Background It is difficult to obtain adequate tissue sample for diagnosing autoimmune
pancreatitis (AIP) with the help of traditional EUS-guided FNA. As per ICDC guidelines, EUS …

Objectives We examined the efficacy and limitations of acquiring large specimens by
endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle biopsy (EUS-FNB) for diagnosing type 1 …

AIM: To investigate the usefulness of endoscopic ultra-sound-guided fine needle aspiration
(EUS-FNA) in the differentiation of autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP). METHODS: We …

In Japan, type 1 autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) is the most common type of AIP; type 2 AIP is
rare. The aim of this study was to clarify the usefulness of endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine …
