Abstract(s)
A paniculite pancreĆ”tica Ć© uma dermatose pouco frequente, caracterizada por necrose gorda subcutĆ¢nea como um fenĆ³meno Ć distĆ¢ncia no contexto de doenƧa do pĆ¢ncreas, e que pode constituir o primeiro indĆcio desta patologia. Contudo, esta afecĆ§Ć£o cutĆ¢nea mantĆ©m-se como uma complicaĆ§Ć£o pouco comum de doenƧa pancreĆ”tica, nomeadamente de neoplasia e de pancreatite. A classificaĆ§Ć£o das paniculites baseia-se na localizaĆ§Ć£o do infiltrado inflamatĆ³rio, que, no caso da paniculite pancreĆ”tica, predomina nos lĆ³bulos de gordura da hipoderme. Como a neoplasia do pĆ¢ncreas Ć© frequentemente assintomĆ”tica, Ć© mandatĆ³rio investigar qualquer suspeita de doenƧa pancreĆ”tica na presenƧa de nĆ³dulos subcutĆ¢neos dos membros inferiores, eritematosos, dolorosos, principalmente quando surgem associados a antecedentes de queixas digestivas. O presente trabalho tem como objectivo apresentar um caso de carcinoma pancreĆ”tico associado a nĆ³dulos subcutĆ¢neos dos membros inferiores, cujo exame histopatolĆ³gico evidenciou tratar-se de paniculite com necrose gorda. Pretende-se assim, atravĆ©s de uma revisĆ£o actual da literatura, lembrar esta associaĆ§Ć£o rara que se torna de grande importĆ¢ncia clĆnica.
Pancreatic panniculitis is a rare dermatosis, characterized by necrosis of subcutaneous fat as a phenomenon linked to diseases of the pancreas, which may be the first evidence of a pancreatic illness. Though, this cutaneous affection is still an uncommon complication of pancreatic disease, namely of carcinoma and pancreatitis. The classification of panniculitis, is based on the location of the inflammatory infiltrates, which in pancreatic panniculitis are mostly found in the fat lobules of the hypodermis. The carcinoma of the pancreas is frequently asymptomatic, being mandatory an investigation directed to the suspicion of pancreatic disease, in the evidence of painful, erythematous, nodules especially when there is a history of gastrointestinal symptoms. The present work aims to report a case of pancreatic carcinoma associated with subcutaneous nodules, with histopathological findings of panniculitis with fat necrosis. It is also to remind, through a literary revision, that this uncommon association is of great clinical importance.
