This article considers the case of a 72-year-old male who presented with epigastric pain, anorexia and progressive jaundice. Liver function tests revealed enzyme abnormalities consistent with cholestasis, while radiographic and endoscopic findings were suggestive of autoimmune pancreatitis with biliary involvement. Examinations for the presence of malignant cells were negative. A diagnosis of autoimmune pancreatitis with IgG4-associated cholangitis was made and the patient was treated with corticosteroids.
