[Subcutaneous fat necroses, arthritis and vasculitis of small skin vessels in chronic pancreatitis].
We describe an 42 year old patient suffering from chronic pancreatitis for 7 years who additionally developed subcutaneous fat necrosis, acute arthritis and erythema nodosum--like skin lesions. These symptoms associated with acute or chronic pancreatic disease represent a rare clinical entity. In this case the clinical course was rapidly progressive, resistant to therapy and further complicated by a vasculitic process.
