Inguinal and Perineal Necrotizing Fasciitis, A Rare Clinical Manifestation of Necrotizing Pancreatitis: Two Case Reports

Abstract

Acute pancreatitis is a common cause of acute abdominal pain and is associated with several complications. Peripancreatic fluid collection is common, but necrotizing pancreatitis is not as common as it and both of them can be infected. Massive retroperitoneal collection due to necrotizing pancreatitis, which was first presented as necrotizing fasciitis of the inguinal and perineal regions, is an extremely rare presentation of necrotizing pancreatitis. Two cases of this manifestation that were undergone treatment by authors are reported in this article.
