description Pancreatic infiltration with eosinophils is an uncommon finding with numerous etiologies. While two rare cases of eosinophilic pancreatitis in infants born to Type I diabetic mothers have been reported once in the English literature and once in the French literature, we present the additional finding of anencephaly in a 34 week old fetus. Although the pancreas was grossly unremarkable, histological inspection demonstrated an eosinophilic infiltrate in the fibrous septae and islets of Langerhans along with hypertrophy and hyperplasia of the pancreatic islets.
