Abstract:
Objectives: To present a case of pancreatitis, panniculitis and polyarthritis syndome, including the full spectrum of the arthritis component. Methods: A case of PPP syndrome was examined, with a detailed review of the patient's synovial fluid aspirate including cell count, crystals, culture and a lipid analysis which was compared to a control patient. Results: The synovial fluid aspirate from PPP syndrome demonstrates unique crystal formation and higher lipids. Conclusion: PPP syndrome is a rare condition which can be difficult to diagnose. A lipid analysis of a patient's synovial fluid aspirate may be a useful tool to aid in the diagnosis.
