Acute pancreatitis due to hypertriglyceridemia is a relatively rare clinical entity. Acute pancreatic necrosis is a life threatening form of acute pancreatitis in which early recognition and treatment is important. Necrotising pancreatitis should be treated immediately.

We presented the case in order to mention necrotising pancreatitis arising from hypertriglyceridemia and requiring surgical exploration.
