A Tale of Two Ps: Panniculitis Secondary to Acute Pancreatitis

Pancreatic panniculitis (PP) is a rare variant of panniculitis that affects patients with pancreatic disorders, most commonly pancreatic malignancy or acute/chronic pancreatitis. Patients often present with painful, erythematous nodules on their lower extremities that may undergo spontaneous ulceration and necrosis. Treatment is largely supportive and should address the underlying pancreatic disease.
