Pancreatic panniculitis is an uncommon complication of pancreatic disease, which is characterized by liquefactive necrosis of the subcutaneous fat and may constitute the first evidence of a pancreatic illness. Herein, we report a case where cutaneous lesions of pancreatic disease were recognized prior to detection of an acute episode of a known chronic pancreatitis.

Keywords : Pancreatic panniculitis; Acute pancreatitis; Chronic pancreatitis; Pancreatic carcinoma; Subcutaneous nodules.
