A member asked:

Why is a symptom of pancreatic cancer sometimes listed as "uneven texture of fatty tissue"? does this mean panniculitis from acinar cell carcinoma?

Not common: The origin of pancreatic cancer is within the ductal Some people with pancreatic cancer develop an uneven texture of the fatty tissue underneath the skin. This is caused by the release of the pancreatic enzymes that digest fat. Tumor eventually obstructs the duct completely to prevent digestive enzymes from being secreted resulting in steatorrhea.
