Abstract
Lipomatous pseudohypertrophy of the pancreas (LPH) is a rare disease in which the pancreatic parenchyma is replaced with mature adipose tissue. It is an idiopathic condition whose diagnosis is made based on histopathological analyses. Herein, we report the case of a 50-year-old male patient with a lipomatous mass in the head of the pancreas on computed tomography for close examination of a renal tumor. We suspected liposarcoma, and laparotomy was performed. However, histological analyses revealed LPH. Several imaging findings of LPH can enable a noninvasive diagnosis and help its clinical approach.
