Pancreatic panniculitis associated with acinic cell adenocarcinoma: a case report and review of the literature

Cutis. 2007 Oct;80(4):289-94.

Abstract

Pancreatic panniculitis represents a rare skin manifestation of underlying pancreatic pathology. The clinical presentation of the condition is remarkably consistent and privy to several unique clinical and histopathologic findings. We report a case of a 50-year-old white woman with pancreatic panniculitis and newly diagnosed pancreatic acinic cell adenocarcinoma. The clinical and histopathologic features, underlying causes, and treatments are reviewed.
