Pancreatitis, panniculitis and polyarthritis syndrome (PPP syndrome) is a clinical syndrome with cutaneous panniculitis and polyarthritis on the basis of pancreatic diseases, which is quite rare. The occurrence of arthrosis and skin lesions is not completely synchronous with pancreatic diseases, so it is often missed or misdiagnosed due to the lack of obvious abdominal signs, with severe sequelae and high mortality. In this article, we report a case of PPP syndrome with severe rare osseous complications caused by chronic pancreatitis.

: Anti PD1/PD-L1 agents, including pembrolizumab, have revolutionized the oncological treatment of different types of cancer, including non-small cell lung cancer. The most frequent complications associated with this type of treatment are mild and are located at the thyroid, pulmonary or hepatic level. Sarcoid like reaction and mesenteric panniculitis secondary to pembrolizumab treatment are two very rare adverse effects.

Article Synopsis
- The combination of pancreatitis, panniculitis, and polyarthritis (PPP) is a rare syndrome linked with pancreatitis or pancreatic cancers, highlighted by a case of a 50-year-old man who experienced worsening polyarthritis and nodules on his legs.
- Lab tests confirmed pancreatitis, and a dermatological assessment established panniculitis, leading to the diagnosis of PPP.
- Initial treatments with glucocorticoids and NSAIDs were ineffective, but after performing endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) to remove blockages in the pancreatic duct, the patient's symptoms improved significantly, emphasizing the need for multidisciplinary awareness and management of this condition.

Article Synopsis
- Spontaneous pancreatic portal vein fistula (PPVF) is a rare complication of pancreatic inflammation, often leading to bleeding and mortality; a systematic review analyzed the outcomes of this condition based on 52 relevant studies.
- The study included 74 patients (average age 53.5) with a significant history of alcohol use and chronic pancreatitis, highlighting abdominal pain as the most common symptom and computed tomography as the preferred diagnostic tool.
- While the overall rates of bleeding complications (17.6%) and mortality (16.2%) were relatively low, younger age was linked to a higher risk of bleeding, and older age along with polyarthritis were associated with increased mortality.
