Abstract
More than 20 years have passed since a paper describing two cases of pancreatitis associated with cholangitis and showing a distinct clinicopathological picture of lymphoplasmacytic sclerosing pancreatitis (LPSP) was brought to the medical world’s attention. That paper also speculated about the possibility of an association with systemic disease, now recognized as “IgG4-related disease.” In this chapter, detailed clinicopathological features of these two cases as initially described are outlined to explain how the concept of LPSP was established.
