A 62-year-old woman with familial chylomicronemia syndrome (FCS) resulting from documented lipoprotein lipase deficiency presented with pancreatitis 48 hours after eating a plant-based burger with tomato and lettuce at a local restaurant. She had not previously eaten such a burger. She was diagnosed with FCS at age 12 after experiencing chronic pancreatitis since age 4. At this presentation her triglyceride levels were 1493 mg/dL and her lipase was 510 U/L (normal range 13-60). An abdominal computed tomography (CT) scan confirmed acute pancreatitis.

A 62-year-old woman with familial chylomicronemia syndrome (FCS) resulting from documented lipoprotein lipase deficiency presented with pancreatitis 48 hours after eating a plant-based burger with tomato and lettuce at a local restaurant. She had not previously eaten such a burger. She was diagnosed with FCS at age 12 after experiencing chronic pancreatitis since age 4. At this presentation her triglyceride levels were 1493 mg/dL and her lipase was 510 U/L (normal range 13-60).
