“…Acinar cell carcinoma, although a rare entity in itself, is the most common type of tumor seen in patients with pancreatic panniculitis. [5][6][7][8] Other associated pancreatic abnormalities, such as anatomic ductal anomalies, 9,10 pseudocysts, [11][12][13] vasculopancreatic fistulae, 14 and postallograft pancreas transplant, 15 have been less frequently reported.…”

Background: Pancreatic panniculitis is a rare entity, occurring in less than 2% of patients with pancreatic disorders. Skin manifestations may precede the diagnosis of a pancreatic disease by many months. When treatable, correction of the underlying pancreatic disorder may lead to prompt resolution of the panniculitis.Objective: We present the case of a 74-year-old-man with a history of chronic pancreatitis who presented with an acute onset of tender, nonulcerating nodules. The clinical and histologic features of pancreatic panniculitis are discussed, with a brief review of the differential diagnosis and clinical approach to panniculitis.Conclusions: Pancreatic panniculitis is a recognizable clinical entity with characteristic histologic features that may resolve with treatment of the underlying pancreatic disorder. The algorithm-based clinical approach to panniculitis presented in this study is a practical tool designed to guide clinicians in ordering investigations and determining the appropriate management for patients presenting with subcutaneous nodules.Anté cé dents: La panniculite pancré atique est une condition rare qui survient chez moins de 2 % des patients souffrant d'un trouble du pancré as. Les manifestations cutané es peuvent pré cé der de plusieurs mois le diagnostic d'une maladie du pancré as. Le traitement de la maladie du pancré as sous-jacente, lorsque cette maladie est traitable, peut mener à une prompte gué rison de la panniculite.Objectif: Pré senter le cas d'un homme de 74 ans ayant des anté cé dents de pancré atite chronique qui pré sente une manifestation de nodules douloureux et non ulcé reux. Les caracté ristiques cliniques et histologiques de la panniculite pancré atique sont exposé es, avec un survol rapide du diagnostic diffé rentiel et de l'approche clinique de la panniculite.Conclusions: La panniculite pancré atique est une condition repé rable qui pré sente des caracté ristiques histologiques pré cises et qui peut gué rir à la suite du traitement de la maladie du pancré as sous-jacente. L'approche clinique se fondant sur un algorithme pré senté dans cette é tude repré sente un outil pratique visant à guider les cliniciens dans leur investigation et dans le choix du moyen de gestion approprié des malades pré sentant des nodules sous-cutané s.

“…2–4 PP in association with spontaneous rupture of a pancreatic pseudocyst has been rarely reported in the literature. 5 In 40% of the cases, PP precedes abdominal symptoms of pancreatic disease, and hence may provide diagnostic clue. 2 PP typically presents as painful, tender, erythematous to violaceous nodules in the lower extremities; disseminated fat necrosis may be indicative of worsening pancreatic disease.…”
