We describe the case of a 75 year old woman who was diagnosed with pancreatic acinar cell carcinoma after she presented with subcutaneous nodules on the lower legs compatible with panniculitis. This case illustrates the need for a thorough search for internal disease in case of panniculitis to diagnose potentially life-threatening illness in an early stage. (BELG J MED ONCOL 2012;6:124–128)
