Pancreatic panniculitis is a rare cutaneous presentation in patients with pancreatic pathology. While it presents as cutaneous inflammation with painful and erythematous nodules which demonstrate ulceration, imaging features of this pathology are seldom described. The common sites of involvement are the extremities. It demonstrates characteristic histological features of lobular panniculitis with ghost cells. MR imaging with its excellent soft tissue contrast can be helpful in confirming the diagnosis, demonstrating imaging features of fat necrosis with surrounding inflammation as demonstrated in our patient.
胰腺性脂膜炎是胰腺病变患者中一种罕见的皮肤表现。它表现为皮肤炎症，伴有疼痛性红斑结节并出现溃疡，而这种病变的影像学特征很少被描述。常见受累部位是四肢。它具有小叶性脂膜炎伴影细胞的特征性组织学表现。磁共振成像凭借其出色的软组织对比度，有助于确诊，可显示出如我们患者所示的脂肪坏死伴周围炎症的影像学特征。
