Autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) usually responds dramatically to steroid therapy. Occasionally, however, misdiagnosed patients have undergone pancreaticoduodenectomy. This study is aimed at providing useful information to improve the accuracy of diagnosis before surgery and thus avoid unnecessary resections in patients with AIP. Methods. From January 2015 to February 2020, a series of patients were enrolled, having undergone pancreaticoduodenectomy for presumed malignancy. AIP diagnoses were confirmed by postoperative pathology. The demographic and clinical data of the AIP patients were evaluated. The main diagnostic criteria (HISORt, Asian, and ICDC) for AIP were applied to assess whether and how unnecessary surgery could have been avoided. Results. A total of 124 cases of pancreaticoduodenectomy were performed for presumed malignancy. Six patients were diagnosed with benign disease and five with AIP. The prevalences of benign disease and AIP were 4.8% and 4%, respectively. Four patients were female and 1 male, with a mean age of 60.0 years old. Jaundice, pain, and weight loss were observed in 100%, 20%, and 40% of AIP patients, respectively.
