Abstract
A ten-year-old neutered male Beagle dog was presented with a one-year history of intermittent limb swelling. Some parts of the skin were so swollen that they erupted, and the tick oily substance drained from them. Cytological examination of the draining substance revealed necrotic fat tissue. It led to suggest that panniculitis caused the substance to be there. Radiograph of the left femur showed periostitis. A diagnosis of pancreatic disease was made on the findings of marked elevation of plasma lipase concentration and ultrasonographic identification of the mass in the pancreatic area. A pancreatic mass was resected and it was histopathologically diagnosed as a pancreatic exocrine carcinoma. This is a rare case of pancreatic disease with panniculitis and periostitis.
