Acrodermatitis continua of Hallopeau (ACH) is defined by persistent sterile pustules on the palms and/or soles (1). Its coexistence with pancreatitis has not been reported, although it has been linked to vulgar and pustular psoriasis due to the overexpression of inflammatory mediators (2). We present a case of a man with chronic pancreatitis exacerbation, with hand lesions confirmed as ACH, which improved after resolving the pancreatic condition, suggesting a relationship between the two pathologies.
