The pancreaticoportal fistula is a very uncommon complication of pancreatic diseases, mostly occurring in the course of chronic pancreatitis. From 2 findings of pancreaticoportal fistula and a literature review, we emphasize in this study the frequency of subcutaneous fat necrosis during pancreaticoportal fistula, the pathogenic role of the pancreaticoportal fistula to induce a subcutaneous fat necrosis by means of a massive enzyme release in the systemic circulation, the protective role of portal thrombosis, and finally the diagnostic and therapeutic value of endoscopic retrograde cholangio-pancreatography in pancreaticoportal fistula.
