Panniculitis is a rare dermatological condition that can be caused by numerous factors. Pancreatic pathologies including acute pancreatitis is one of the rarer causes of panniculitis. Panniculitis heals when the etiological agent is removed. This means that in the case of Pancreatic panniculitis, panniculitis begins healing when the pancreatitis settles. Anabolic steroid containing mass-gainers used in body building can cause acute pancreatitis as stated in literature. The association of mass-gainer associated acute pancreatitis leading to panniculitis is an interesting feature rarely reported. In this case report we present a young man who developed a devastating Pancreatic Panniculitis after mass-gaining supplement intake.The case was diagnosed on characteristic histopathology findings.
脂膜炎是一种罕见的皮肤病，可由多种因素引起。包括急性胰腺炎在内的胰腺疾病是脂膜炎较罕见的病因之一。当病因去除后，脂膜炎会愈合。这意味着在胰腺性脂膜炎的情况下，胰腺炎病情稳定时脂膜炎就开始愈合。如文献所述，健身时使用的含合成代谢类固醇的增重剂可导致急性胰腺炎。增重剂相关的急性胰腺炎导致脂膜炎这种关联是一个很少被报道的有趣特征。在本病例报告中，我们介绍了一名年轻男子，他在摄入增重补充剂后患上了严重的胰腺性脂膜炎。该病例根据特征性组织病理学发现得以确诊。
