“…In particular, consider this patient as affected by an attack of acute pancreatitis was clinically reasonable.

Acute pancreatitis may oc-casionally be complicated by panniculitis as a result of the release of pancreatic enzymes, occurring in 2% -3% of all patients with pancreatic disorders [17][18][19].…”
