File:IPLab1FatNecrosis1.jpg|This gross photograph shows the intestines and omentum at autopsy. Note the small (5-15 mm in diameter) white nodules on the surface of the omental and mesenteric fat tissue (arrows).
File:IPLab1FatNecrosis2.jpg|This gross photograph of the pancreas from this case shows white nodules (arrows) in the pancreas and the adjacent mesenteric fat tissue.
File:IPLab1FatNecrosis3.jpg|This low-power photomicrograph of the pancreas from this case shows the fat tissue (1) surrounding the pancreas. Note the rim of inflammatory cells (arrows) and the blue areas in the that represent calcified fat adjacent to the pancreas (2).File:IPLab1FatNecrosis4.jpg|This high-power photomicrograph shows areas of inflammation (1) and fat necrosis (arrows) in the peripancreatic fat tissue (2) of the pancreas from this case.
File:IPLab1FatNecrosis5.jpg|Another high-power photomicrograph shows blue discoloration in the fat tissue in the interlobular spaces (1) of the pancreas.
File:IPLab1FatNecrosis6.jpg|A higher-power photomicrograph of the previous slide contains a small area of fat necrosis (1) in the upper right portion of the image. The fat necrosis is within the fat tissue that is normally found adjacent to the pancreas. The appearance of the pancreatic tissue in this area is somewhat disrupted due to autolysis (the pancreas autolyzes very rapidly after death) but there is some premortem necrosis as well.
