Pancreatitis, Panniculitis, and Polyarthritis Syndrome as an Indication for Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Pancreatic diseases, including pancreatitis, may be associated with skin manifestations, and prompt recognition is crucial for diagnosis and prognosis. Pancreatic panniculitis is an uncommon dermatologic condition occurring in only 0.3%-3% of pancreatic diseases. Very rarely, the triad of pancreatitis, panniculitis, and polyarthritis syndrome can be observed. Of the scant cases in the literature, most patients received treatment with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and/or steroids. To our knowledge, this is the first case to outline an endoscopic approach for pancreatitis, panniculitis, and polyarthritis syndrome in the setting of a pseudocyst.
