Abstract：Autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) is a distinct form of chronic pancreatitis characterized clinically by obstructive jaundice with or without a pancreatic mass, histologically by lymphoplasmacytic infiltrate and chronic fibrosis, and therapeutically by a highly sensitive response to steroids.In July 2016, an international consensus symposium was held by International Association of Pancreatology. After a intense discussion and deliberation, an international consensus for the treatment of autoimmune pancreatitis specifically in response to 9 key clinical questions during the course of AIP and a compatible therapeutic algorithm were proposed to further improve the diagnosis and treatment of AIP.
