Abstract
Nonalcoholic fatty pancreas disease (NAFPD) is a condition characterized by the accumulation of excess fat in the pancreas, commonly occurring in individuals with obesity. The diagnostic evaluation of NAFPD is mostly composed of image tests, but it is still less standardized. NAFPD is closely linked to metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, pancreatic exocrine insufficiency, acute pancreatitis, pancreatic fistula, pancreatic cancer, and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). However, further research is needed to investigate the mechanisms underlying these relevant clinical consequences. In terms of treatment, strategies aimed at minimizing pancreatic fat accumulation through dietary modifications and regular exercise, similar to the management of NAFLD, may be beneficial.
