Pancreatic panniculitis.

Background: Pancreatic panniculitis is a rare disease in which necrosis of fat in the panniculus and other distant foci occurs in the setting of pancreatic disease.

Objective: Our purpose was to study the clinical and histopathologic features of this disease.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective review of 11 patients.

Depths of chemexfoliation induced by various concentrations and application techniques of trichloroacetic acid in a porcine model.

The depth of wounds created by various concentrations and application techniques of trichloroacetic acid (TCA) in a porcine model is evaluated. The depth of tissue necrosis increased with the concentration of TCA. Tape occlusion did not deepen the wound but rather decreased its depth.
