Article Synopsis
- - Three male patients aged 50-70 presented with jaundice and weight loss; imaging indicated potential pancreatic cancer due to a mass and duct changes.
- - Two patients underwent surgery; one showed improvement after steroid treatment despite being deemed unresectable, while the other had a mass that was found to be non-malignant.
- - All three were ultimately diagnosed with autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP), a benign condition that can mimic cancer, suggesting that a steroid trial may be beneficial in uncertain cases.
