Fibrocalculous Pancreatic Diabetes (FCPD) is a secondary form of diabetes mellitus due to chronic nonalcoholic calcific pancreatitis. Prurigo nodularis is seen in various dermatological diseases, but also seen in hematological and metabolic diseases (such as solid tumors, lymphoma, diabetes mellitus).
A 55-year-old postmenopausal female with a history of chronic pancreatitis presented with poor glycemic control, osmotic symptoms, and itchy skin lesions on both lower limbs. Examination revealed excoriated papular and macular lesions over the legs. Neuropathic examination of the lower limbs was unremarkable. A clinical diagnosis of FCPD (Fibrocalculous Pancreatic Diabetes) and Prurigo nodularis was made. The patient’s HbA1c was found to be 13%. An abdominal x-ray showed multiple pancreatic calculi. The patient was managed with insulin on MSI scale and Flucinolone ointment.
