Abstract
Subcutaneous fat necrosis is a well described, rare sequela of acute pancreatitis. Uncommonly, arthritis is seen in association with these 2 disease processes. We report a case of fulminant pancreatitis presenting as an acute arthritis. Birefringent crystal-like structures led to initial diagnostic confusion with gout.
