AIM : The study aimed to nd the link between the fat deposition in pancreas and liver and metabolic syndrome. METHODOLOGY : It was a cross sectional study . 50 patients with ultrasonographic evidence of fatty pancreas were included and were evaluated for the presence of fatty liver on ultrasonography and were assessed for the presence of metabolic syndrome. RESULTS: Metabolic syndrome was detected in 62% of patients of Non alcoholic fatty pancreas disease (NAFPD). The overall prevalence of fatty liver was 72% in patients with NAFPD. The presence of fatty liver in the studied patients increased the number of parameters of metabolic syndrome. It was statistically signicant (p=0.043). CONCLUSION: NAFPD is closely related to metabolic syndrome and fatty liver
