Pancreatic disease, panniculitis, polyarthrtitis syndrome successfully treated with total pancreatectomy: Case report and literature review.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionPancreatic disease can be complicated by extrabdominal manifestations such as panniculitis and polyarthritis. The symptomatic triad comprising pancreatic disease, panniculitis and polyarthritis is also known as PPP syndrome and is characterized by severe chronic sequels and high mortality rate. We describe a case of PPP syndrome successfully treated with spleen preserving total pancreatectomy; in addition we performed a literature review. PRESENTATION OF CASE: A 67 years old male presented panniculitis and polyarthritis without clinical abdominal symptoms. Clinical presentation, laboratory values and radiological findings demonstrated an acute pancreatitis and a pancreatic cancer was suspected; failure of conservatory treatments and high suspicious of malignancy led to perform a spleen preserving total pancreatectomy. Finally histological examination excluded a pancreatic cancer and confirmed a chronic pancreatitis. Patient was discharged with complete resolution of the extrabdominal disease. DISCUSSION: In literature only 64 cases of PPP syndrome have been reported. Abdominal symptoms do not often appear at presentation and diagnosis may be delayed. Panniculitis develope in any part of the body but especially on the distal parts of the lower extremities, around the ankles and pretibial regions of the legs. Between osteo-articular manifestations polyarthritis is the most common one, although oligoarthritis, and monoarthritis in have been reported.
conclusionPPP syndrome is a rare disease with a high mortality rate. A timely diagnosis and an aggressive treatment may improve the prognosis of this condition.
