Autoimmune Pancreatitis Revealing Slowly Progressive Type 1 Diabetes: A Clinical Observation

Abstract Autoimmune Pancreatitis (AIP) is a rare cause of chronic pancreatitis, accounting for approximately 2% of cases [1]. The association between Slowly Progressive Type 1 Diabetes (SPT1D) and AIP is poorly described in the literature [2]. We report the case of a patient presenting with concomitant AIP and type 1 diabetes, highlighting the possible involvement of a common autoimmune process affecting both the endocrine and exocrine pancreatic functions.
