Lipase Hypersecretion Syndrome
A rare disorder resulting from neoplastic exocrine excess. It is typically seen in 10-15 % of patients with pancreatic acinar cell carcinoma. Clinical signs include subcutaneous fat necrosis, polyarthralgia and osteolytic lesions. Clinical course may proceed to non-bacterial thrombotic endocarditis. Clinical prognosis is poor due to its usual onset with advanced disease. (NCI Thesaurus)
