Pancreatic lipomas are mostly incidentally detected when patient undergoes imaging studies for some other reason. Uncommonly, they can present with nonspecific symptoms like abdominal pain or features of pancreatic or biliary obstruction. Pathologically, the lipomas are benign lesions made up of mature fat cells surrounded by a thin collagenous capsule. We present a case of pancreatic lipoma incidentally detected in a 65 yr female patient complaining of swelling in right iliac fossa many years after appendicectomy which turned out to be an incisional hernia.
