What are the signs and symptoms of autoimmune pancreatitis?

The signs and symptoms of AIP are similar to pancreatic cancer, but AIP is not cancer.

AIP does not always cause symptoms. When it does, the main symptom is jaundice (yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes). Other signs and symptoms can resemble symptoms of pancreatic cancer.

Symptoms of AIP include:

  • Mass or growth in the pancreas
  • Stomach pain
  • Weight loss
  • Back pain
  • Fatigue (extreme tiredness)
