Abstract
On rare occasions, excessive lipase production by functioning pancreatic acinar cell carcinoma results in subcutaneous and intraosseous fat necrosis. A patient with subcutaneous nodules and osteolytic lesions from metastatic fat necrosis associated with this malignancy is reported. Prompt recognition of the syndrome led to complete resection of the otherwise asymptomatic neoplasm of the exocrine pancreas.
