The present record of what happened highlights the role of endoscopic ultrasound in disease in painless opposing jaundice caused by IgG4 autoimmune pancreatitis. A female patient, 60-years-traditional, was admitted to the crisis department with easy jaundice. The patient did not have some history of alcohol devouring, drug abuse, or premature liver and biliary or hematologic diseases. This case highlights the oddity of AIP as a possible cause of opposing jaundice and the challenging to establish duty of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) in the final disease. According to diagnostic criteria, we linked the results from serologic, imaging and histological appearance (specifically lgG4 levels, computed tomography, attractive resonance image/magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography and EUS) accompanying cytological results, leading to a conclusive diagnosis. The prognosis of AIP is mainly good and complications exceptional. Our patient remains free from manifestations three years afterwards diagnosis with a profitable treatment of relapse. The reaction of patient to corticosteroids was impressive, confirming the disease, leading to complete pardon of the disease. Whilst diagnosis of AIP is questioning, the application of demonstrative criteria can lead to correct disease. Therapy is corticosteroid based, accompanying very satisfying outcomes.
