A Case Report of Pancreatic Lipomatosis
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC STUDY - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
The pancreas is an exocrine and endocrine organ that is related to the stomach, duodenum, colon, and spleen. Fatty degeneration of the pancreas is common with aging; the entire pancreas may be replaced by fat, and the patient may have no clinical symptoms. We here present a case of an 18-year-old male known case of Type 1 diabetes who was admitted to our hospital for diffuse abdominal pain for the past 8 days, which was non-colicky in nature associated with nausea, anorexia and generalized weakness, no aggravating or relieving factors. With this scenario, he was investigated further for abdominal pain and found to have pancreatic lipomatosis.
