Reviewer’ s report
Title: A case report of pancreatic panniculitis due to acute pancreatitis with intraductal papillary
mucinous neoplasm
Version: 1Date: 10 Jun 2020
Reviewer's report:
Well structured and pragmatic case presentation. The authors reviewed well the literature and
presented in a suitable manner. This case is not a novelty as some case reports about this entityhave been published in the last years but it refers to a rare presentation of a common condition,highlighting some aspects that might alert us to a diagnosis. I found it very interesting andinstructive. I recommend its publication.
