We report a 63-year-old-woman who presented with a pruritic rash on both thighs. Radiologic investigations revealed a pancreatic mass. Pancreatic cancer was confirmed by biopsy and the rash resolved after chemotherapy followed by pancreatoduodenectomy. Urticarial dermatitis is a rare paraneoplastic manifestation of pancreatic cancer in Africa.
