CT & MRI Findings in a Rare Case of Total Fat Replacement of Pancreas
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Applied Radiology - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Total fat replacement of the pancreas is rare. Focal fatty replacement is the most common degenerative lesion of pancreas. Focal fatty deposits have no major clinical significance; however, extreme fat replacement may be associated with marked reduction in exocrine function of pancreas, resulting in malabsorption due to pancreatic enzyme insufficiency. We report CT & MRI findings in an incidental case of advanced pancreatic lipomatosis where the whole parenchyma is replaced by fat without exocrine or endocrine pancreatic dysfunction and the pancreatic duct is identified as a linear density.
