Epipericardial fat necrosis is a rare cause of acute pleuritic chest pain and is a benign and self-limiting condition. It is important to distinguish epipericardial fat necrosis from other diseases that cause acute chest pain, such as acute myocardial infarction, pulmonary embolism, and acute pericarditis, because conservative treatment is recommended for epipericardial fat necrosis.
