Blood Clots or Abnormal Fatty Tissues
In some case, a blood clot can become a warning sign for pancreatic cancer which usually occurs in the large vein or most often into the leg. It is called deep vein thrombosis. The signs of deep thrombosis vein include redness, warmth, swelling, and pain into an infected leg. This clot formation does not only happen within the leg but also to other parts of the body. Sometimes a clot from build-up portion breaks out and travels towards lungs that make it harder to breather as well as cause severe chest pain. This type of blood clot that travels to the lungs and cause severe respiratory problems is termed as pulmonary embolism.
Some individuals with pancreatic tumors develop a rough texture of some fatty tissues under the skin. It is caused due to a release of a pancreatic enzyme which digests fat content.
