| Abstrakt: | The article presents a case report of a 69-year-old patient with vague upper abdominal pain and elevated lipase, which led to a diagnostic challenge between autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) and pancreatic cancer. It mentions that the patient was initially treated with prednisone for AIP, but further investigations revealed pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) with borderline resectable characteristics, leading to chemotherapy and radiotherapy treatment. |
