“…There is no particular treatment for pancreatic panniculitis other than treatment of the underlying pancreatic disease (3,15,19). Symptomatic treatment may include support stockings, leg elevation and bed rest since the subcutaneous nodules tend to develop on the lower extremities most commonly (3,16).…”

Pancreatic panniculitis is an uncommon condition that can occur in association with pancreatic disease. We present a case of pancreatic panniculitis in a female pancreas-kidney transplant recipient 5 months posttransplant. The patient was on standard immunosuppressive medications and had acute rejection of her renal allograft. The diagnosis of allograft pancreatitis and rejection presenting with pancreatic panniculitis was supported clinically, histopathologically and by laboratory and imaging data. This is the fourth case of pancreatic panniculitis occurring in a transplant recipient and the first in a simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplant recipient. It is also the first case associated with allograft rejection. Clinicians should be aware that pancreatic panniculitis may be a manifestation of underlying allograft pancreatic disease.

A 49-year-old man was admitted to Mount Sinai Medical Center, Miami Beach, Fla, for epigastric pain radiating to the back that was associated with fever. He had a history of alcohol abuse, recurrent pancreatitis, and pancreatic pseudocysts. Results from the physical examination revealed abdominal tenderness, ascites, and pleural effusions. Laboratory tests disclosed the following findings and values: leukocytosis; erythrocyte sedimentation rate, elevated; liver function tests, normal; serum amylase, 590 U/L (normal, 30 to 110 U/L); and serum lipase, 1694 U/L (normal, 23 to 208 U/L). Ten days after admission, painful nodules on the lower legs, arthralgia involving the ankles, and eosinophilia developed. The eruption consisted of groups of tender, red, 1-to 3-cm nodules with ill-defined borders on the anterior legs (Figs 1 and 2).A hematoxylin-eosin-stained section of an excisional biopsy specimen is shown in Figs 3 and 4. The nodules resolved within 2 weeks, leaving hyperpigmentation.
