“…Endoscopic procedures such as pancreatic stenting or pseudocyst drainage have also been described. In recent cases aggressive treatments have been reported, such as necrosectomy [11] , pseudocyst endoscopic drainage [16] , triple bypass surgery [18] . To our knowledge this is the first report of PPP syndrome succesfully treated with a total pancreatectomy.…”
HighlightsPPP (pancreatic disease, panniculitis, polyarthritis) syndrome is a rare disease caused by pancreatitis or pancreatic cancer.Panniculitis and polyarthritis are the main characteristics of the syndrome.A high mortality rate and chronic sequel are reported.Surgical and endoscopic treatment may improve the prognosis of this condition.
