Features of AIP are fundamentally similar in Japan, Korea, Taiwan, and China. Knowledge of emerging AIP should be more widespread in Asia to avoid unnecessary operation.

Background: The incidence of pancreatic tuberculosis is extremely rare, and it frequently misdiagnosed as pancreatic neoplasms. The nonsurgical diagnosis of this entity continues to be a challenge.

The incidence of bleeding GVs from SPH is relatively rare. Splenic artery embolization could be selected as a first-line choice for bleeding SPH, especially for patients in poor conditions, and sclerotherapy may not be preferentially recommended. Further studies are required to evaluate the optimum treatment algorithm for bleeding GVs from SPH.
