    TLDR A young woman with skin issues and weight loss improved after treating her pancreatitis and using skin treatments.
    This case report described a 22-year-old female with pseudoglucagonoma syndrome secondary to chronic pancreatitis, presenting with necrolytic migratory erythema (NME), diffuse hair loss, and other symptoms. Despite normal serum glucagon levels, her condition was linked to chronic pancreatitis, as confirmed by CT scans showing pancreatic calculi. Treatment included topical corticosteroids, emollients, and nutritional supplements, leading to moderate improvement and no recurrence of skin lesions over 6 months. The report highlighted the importance of considering pancreatitis and other gastrointestinal disorders in cases of NME without glucagonoma.
