Pancetta arrotolata is a fairly common variation on pancetta tesa, or flat pancetta: The butcher seasons a slice of pork side, and then rolls it up tightly. With respect to pancetta tesa, it is more delicate and moister (less surface area to interact with the air). Unlike pancetta tesa, it often appears on antipasto platters. And it is used as an ingredient, of course.
