Core Tip	Pancreatic steatosis is easily detectable using modern imaging techniques, such as ultrasonography, endoscopic ultrasonography, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. It is not due to the presence of diabetes mellitus but is highly associated with the metabolic syndrome. The possible presence of steatopancreatitis should be better evaluated, especially regarding the inflammatory cascade, and additional studies are needed which are capable of assessing whether non-alcoholic steatopancreatitis really exists as does non-alcoholic steatohepatitis. Additional studies regarding the exocrine pancreatic function in patients with pancreatic steatosis are needed.
