Abstract
Fat necrosis in pancreatitis has been reported in mesentery, gut serosa and distant sites like subcutaneous fat and fatty marrow. We present a case of chronic pancreatitis wherein fat necrosis was seen in the muscularis propria and submucosa of small intestine in addition to the serosa. Saponified fatty acid crystalloids, not seen in every case, were seen in these foci of fat necrosis.
