Objectives: Pancreatic steatosis or fatty pancreas refers to the fat accumulation in the pancreas, which can lead to inflammation and fibrosis, β-cell dysfunction, fibrosis, and, possibly, pancreatic cancer. This study aimed to study the prevalence of fatty pancreas and its risk factors in patients referred to an endosonography center.
Methods: During 18 months, 228 patients who were referred to our endosonography center for various reasons were evaluated for fatty pancreas.
