Steatorrhea can also be caused by conditions that affect the pancreas including: Congenital pancreatic lipase deficiency (an abnormality of lipase production in the pancreas that is present at birth). Cystic fibrosis (genetic disorder that interferes with lung and pancreatic function) Pancreatic cancer.
Steatorrhea (pronunciation: stÄâ²ÉtÉrÄâ²É) came from the Greek words âstearâ meaning â fat,â and ârhoiaâ meaning âflowâ [1]. Steatorrhea refers to elimination of fat in the stool basically because the intestines cannot absorb it well. It is further described as foul-smelling, pale, pasty, spongy, and bulky. This is the third most common cause of chronic diarrhea [2, 3, 4].
