ABSTRACT
Nonalcoholic fatty pancreas disease (NAFPD) is a condition characterized by theaccumulation of excess fat in the pancreas, commonly occurring in individuals withobesity. The diagnostic evaluation of NAFPD is mostly composed of image tests,but it is still less standardized. NAFPD is closely linked to metabolic syndrome, type2 diabetes, pancreatic exocrine insufficiency, acute pancreatitis, pancreatic fistula,pancreatic cancer, and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). However, furtherresearch is needed to investigate the mechanisms underlying these relevant clinicalconsequences. In terms of treatment, strategies aimed at minimizing pancreaticfat accumulation through dietary modifications and regular exercise, similar to themanagement of NAFLD, may be beneficial.
