ABSTRACT
A associação de poliartrite, nódulos subcutâneos e carcinoma de pâncreas é uma condição rara e pouco diagnosticada. O presente trabalho tem o objetivo de relatar um caso de carcinoma pancreático associado a poliartrite e nódulos subcutâneos, semelhantes ao eritema nodoso, cujo exame histopatológico evidenciou tratar-se de paniculite com necrose gordurosa. Os autores pretendem, por meio deste relato, lembrar essa associação incomum que se torna de grande importância clínica, considerando que artrite e nódulos subcutâneos podem anteceder as manifestações clínicas de neoplasia pancreática.
The association of polyarthritis, subcutaneous nodules and carcinoma of the pancreas is a rare and underdiagnosed condition. The present work aims to report a case of a patient with carcinoma of pancreas associated with polyarthritis and subcutaneous nodules, similar to erythema nodosum, with histopathological findings of panniculitis with fat necrosis. The authors emphasize the importance of this uncommon association, considering that polyarthritis and subcutaneous nodules may appear before the clinical manifestations of the carcinoma of the pancreas.
