Abstract
Lipomatous pseudohypertrophy of the pancreas is a rare entity characterized by a replacement, focal or diffuse, of the normal pancreatic tissue by mature fatty tissue. Its definitive diagnosis is made based on histopathologic analysis. Nevertheless, typical imaging findings can allow a non-invasive diagnosis and help its clinical approach.
