Objectives The aims of this study were to describe the diagnosis of autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) in Denmark and to test the usefulness of the International Consensus Diagnostic Criteria (ICDC) on a geographically well-defined cohort.Methods All patients diagnosed with AIP at Odense University Hospital from 2007 to 2013 were included (n = 30; mean follow-up, 26.2 months). Data from laparoscopic or percutaneous ultrasound-guided core needle biopsy (CNB), resection specimens, endoscopic ultrasound (EUS), EUS-guided CNB, computed tomography, serum immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4), and pancreatography were retrospectively analyzed according to ICDC.Results Twenty patients were diagnosed with type 1, 8 with type 2, and 2 with not otherwise specified AIP. Twenty-eight patients (93%) could correctly be classified when ICDC were retrospectively applied. Serum IgG4 was elevated in 44% of type 1 and 0% of type 2. Other organ involvement was observed in 40% of type 1 and 13% of type 2, but inflammatory bowel disease only in type 2 (P = 0.001). One patient had IgG4-related chronic perisplenitis as a hitherto undescribed manifestation of IgG4-related disease. Nineteen (91%) of 21 biopsied patients had diagnostic CNB features of AIP. Computed tomography, EUS, and pancreatography showed features highly suggestive or supportive of AIP in 68%, 72%, and 71%, respectively.Conclusions Laparoscopic or percutaneous ultrasound-guided CNB had the highest sensitivity for AIP. The ICDC could retrospectively correctly diagnose 93% of the patients.
