  ABSTRACT: Autoimmune pancreatitis is a distinct form of chronic pancreatitis. It is a chronic pancreatitis distinct from alcohol, genetic or idiopathic impairment and involves possible autoimmune mechanisms. The diagnosis of autoimmune pancreatitis is based on a body of biological, histological and radiological arguments. Also called sclerosing lymphoplasmacytic pancreatitis, it is one of the causes of chronic pancreatitis. The risk factor for the onset of cancer that it represents and its sensitivity to corticosteroids make it a pathology requiring special management. We report a case of autoimmune pancreatitis in a 35-year-old patient.
