Abstract
A case of severe acute pancreatitis presenting with polyarthropathy and subcutaneous nodules but no abdominal pain is described. Abdominal CT showed multiple subcutaneous soft tissue densities which on histological examination were identified as areas of fat necrosis consistent with pancreatic disease. Such CT appearances have not been described previously.
