ABSTRACT
La paniculitis pancreática es una rara manifestación cutánea asociada a patología pancreática. De características similares a otras paniculitis, su evolución es paralela al proceso desencadenante, pudiendo en ocasiones preceder a la clínica propia del mismo. Presentamos el caso de una paciente con paniculitis pancreática por lo demás asintomática que tras el estudio etiológico resultó padecer un carcinoma pancreático de células acinares con metástasis hepáticas
Pancreatic panniculitis is a rare skin manifestation associated with pancreatic conditions. This condition has similar characteristics to those of other panniculitis types and its course parallels the triggering condition and may occasionally precede it. We report the case of a female patient with asymptomatic pancreatic panniculitis; the etiologic study identified a pancreatic acinar cell carcinoma with liver metastases

Annular elastolytic giant cell granuloma (AEGCG) is a very infrequent granulomatous dermatitis characterized by elastolysis and elastophagocytosis. It usually appears in middle-aged Caucasian women and is normally located in sun-exposed areas.We present a case of a 73-year-old woman with hypertension and type II diabetes, who was admitted to the hospital for an ischemic cerebrovascular accident. She presented with annular and serpiginous skin lesions on her back and arms that had appeared seven months earlier; a clinical and histological diagnosis of elastophagocytic granuloma was made. Our patient exhibited a florid presentation and a self-limiting course.
