Abstract
Acinar cell carcinoma of the pancreas is a rare tumor of the exocrine pancreas that may be associated with a characteristic syndrome of diss eminated fat necrosis with a bad prognosis. We report a a case of this tumor occurring ina 63 year-old man who presented with polyarthralgia and panniculitis of the legs. The histological features and the diffe rential diagnosis of acinar cell carcinoma are discussed.
